A member asked:
Does continued wrist pain (higher bone protrusion compared to other hand) indicate onset of arthritis? a parent has been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as well. are there any options is this is so?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a doctor: Insufficient description but does not seem like arthritis; however, since you are concerned and have a family history, you should be examined by a doctor. Rheumatoid arthritis is a joint destroying disease so early diagnosis and treatment is important.
