I Have Kienbock's Disease

What Should I Do?

By: 1cathyking1
Written on June 30th, 2011
I fell and fractured my right radius a year ago.  I had an MRI scan at the time which showed my lunate bone was dark.  One consultant was concerned about this but at the fracture clinic they said it wasn't a problem.  I have had a few twinges over the past year but now I find that fairly frequently I wake up and my wrist feels bruised and weak.  Sometimes it feels better during the day, sometimes not.  Should I request another MRI scan?  What could be done anyway?

    Night is supposedly the worst, it was for me, or still is. I wouldnt ignore it too long, it took years for Drs to figure out it was keinbocks disease, and that time the bone was fractured all over and almost nothing left. The earlier you get treatment the better
