I feel as if I have been kicked when I'm down. This awful disease just keeps on going. Today I had an appointment with an Orthopaedic Consultant to go over the report from an MRI I had recently. Well I have now been told I have KIENBOCK'd disease. The scan has shown that a bone just above my wrist has a compromised blood supply and is starting to die. The surgery is complicated apparently.
Has anybody heard of this x
Mary
No i haven't darling and i am sorry you have. It doesn't sound very nice either. Hugs from me.xxxx
So sorry to hear this. Sending you gentle hugs
Thank you Sylvi xx
Hi, I haven't heard of it but I did a quick search for information. This website may be helpful. Apparently, it is a rare disease.

Thank you. I did come across that in my search yesterday. It doesn't help when the RA affects my wrists as well x
It sounds very complex - from the diagnosis to the treatment. I'm sorry I have never heard of it and wish you the best in getting it taken care of
Thank you x
No
Not heard of this , hope you get some answers and it's something they can sort out for you. I am on the list for a new knee dreading it. Sending you hugs xx dee
Hi Mary- yes, I have heard of it- was just diagnosed with Kienbock’s a few weeks ago. Reviewing surgical options now.
What did they do for you? How are you doing now?
Covid positive, do I continue to take my hydroxy? No one seems to be able to tell me.
You started the ball rolling I think I've Kicked the ball into touch,
Is it just me or do you worry when you're given different brands of medication?How quickly should 30mg dose of Presnisolone kick in?
MTX pills make me very sick? Do I have other options?
