oh no! my left elbow joint is contracting again. I already had a synovectomy on it in 2005, and I cant believe its happening again. I guess enbrel, mtx, and prednisone arent doing enough for it.

has this happened to anyone? If this happens, I will have limited arm motion, because i have no flexion/extension in my right elbow as it is and it was really hard to learn to do things left handed!

Don't know anything about that Sweetie....but I hope things will be better soon. Take Care.Sophia do you have splints you can wear to keep the elbow straight.  If you don't wrapping a towel around it at night will help keep it straight while you sleep

Would physical therapy help?  I have problems with contractures in my toes,feet and ankles.  PT hurts,  but it helps.
