Good morning and Happy New Year! Severe wrist pain during a rheumatoid arthritis flare-up is unfortunately common. The inflammation can make even light activities, like holding a phone or blanket, feel unbearable. Rest your wrist, avoid overuse, and consider using a wrist splint for support.

Update to my new year's post. I saw my rheumatologist in January. She put me back on Rinvoq and i am starting to feel like my old self. The pain in my hands are gone. I still wear my bamboo compression gloves at night to avoid stiffness in the morning. But at least I got my life back. I hope I don't get the fast heart rate that I had before. Doctors could not find the cause of the fast heart rate so we are going to try Rinvoq once more.
Wear a soft wrist brace at night. Ice then heat @20 min int. RX Anti inflamm cream from your RA doc. Also you might see a hand specialist and have local steroid injections? Mine clears up instantly.
While inflamed protect from use bc that pain is so sharp and could cause accidents or falling.
Be safe.
Hand specialist, local steroid injection if its inflammation, Soft wrist brace at night bc our hands get abused during sleep. I sleep on mine and roll on them, yank my blankets and pillow. Thumb/wrist braces should be worn at night to stabilize the joints and you will notice the difference. I also use Rx anti inflam cream with 4 or 5 ingredients that really helps too.
I also use good tools when gardening and compression gloves under my gloves. Hope this helps
When it’s unbearable.I rub Vicks on it and cover with a warm cloth.🙁
