Does anyone have trouble bending their wrists?

Hi . When you experience any new symptom, you should contact your doctor. Some people with PsA do experience wrist pain and tingling/numbness in their fingers, but you want to be sure you rule out other causes rather than automatically including it under the PsA umbrella. One possibility is enthesitis, which is swelling where the tendons meet the bone. This can cause pain up and down an entire limb. One of our advocates wrote a very informative article about it that might interest you: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/enthesitis/. It is also not uncommon for people with PsA to experience Raynaud's Phenomenon, a circulation problem that can cause numbness and tingling in the extremities, like the fingers. Here is an article from our editorial team about Raynaud's: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/clinical/raynauds-phenomenon/. I hope you find some answers and some relief soon.

Hello , thanks for asking your question. While I hope other members of our community will chime in with their personal experiences, I am sending you over an article from one of our advocates. She has similar wrists pain, and pain in her toes and fingers. I am hoping this article will help you.

My husband had to go off his meds years ago to be on an antibiotic. His hands swelled and he lost mobility in both his wrists. I am proactive as far as getting to the doctor at even the hint of being sick, but that time we both got whatever it was. We also let his primary and specialist know and a couple of times since we've managed to work the meds together better. If he bumps or jars his hands it is very painful for him.

I deal with the wrist bending problem. I just started on humira on June 1st, and it has made major improvements to me. My hands and wrists were so bad I could barely get dressed in the morning. I had some tingly feelings in my fingers but not very much. I lost most movement in both wrists, they both barely bend back at all and its not much better bending them forward. Sadly my doctor thinks theres too much damage done already. He told me humira doesnt fully kick in for 3 months so I might see some improvement by then but I honestly dont think so. The swelling is pretty much gone now so that wasn't part of the issue like in my fingers and hands. Unfortunately I think surgery might be my only option soon. Its frustrating. You dont realize how much you use your wrists until you physically cant. I dont know if its common to lose wrist movement but I definitely know what youre going through.
