What Causes Severe Pain In Knee?
My wrist has been bothering me for over a week when I bend it at a 90 degree angle and put pressure on it (such as lifting self up). I don't recall any traumatic event. I do have RA and my other joints have been fine for several months. I am on methatrexate and Plaquenil. Should I be concerned that something is wrong or just assume it's the good ole RA which is usually everyone's answer for everything?

hi
You must see an orthopedic doctor- it could be tendinitis ( a part of rheumatoid) or some early osteoarthritis of wrist joint whch can be screened for by X ray wrist.
Other possibilities may be carpal tunnel, remote chance.
Just do fomentation and apply anti-inflammatory gel like voltaren two three times daily and avoid all movements of wrist for 3 days, use a wrist band for support
