Could this be a flare?

Hi everyone,
I fell out of my house 2 weeks ago and hurt my hand and thought everything was fine until yesterday when I suddenly developed pains in my hand ... Currently I can’t open doors, lids or even open bags.
My PSA attacks the tendons in my lower body.

  1. HI . It could be a flare, but if your symptoms are worsening only in that one hand, it is more likely related to your fall. Did you have x-rays taken after your fall? It's possible that you broke a bone or tore a ligament or tendon, but that constant use has made the injury worse. I would strongly suggest that you have that hand checked out. Please keep us posted if you are comfortable doing so. I will be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
