Living with Kienbock Disease

Kienbock Disease is a rare condition that affects the wrist, specifically the lunate bone. Living with Kienbock Disease can be challenging, but with proper management and lifestyle adjustments, it is possible to lead a fulfilling life. Here are some tips to help you navigate life with this condition:



1. Seek Medical Advice


If you suspect you have Kienbock Disease or have been diagnosed with it, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional. They can provide an accurate diagnosis, explain the severity of your condition, and recommend appropriate treatment options.



2. Follow Treatment Plan


Once diagnosed, it is important to follow the treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider. This may include a combination of medication, physical therapy, immobilization, or even surgery in severe cases. Adhering to the recommended treatment can help manage pain, slow down the progression of the disease, and improve wrist function.



3. Manage Pain


Pain management is a crucial aspect of living with Kienbock Disease. Your healthcare provider may prescribe pain medications or recommend over-the-counter options to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, applying ice packs, using wrist splints, and practicing relaxation techniques can help reduce pain and inflammation.



4. Modify Activities


Adapting your daily activities to accommodate your condition is essential. Avoiding repetitive or strenuous movements that put excessive strain on the wrist can help prevent further damage. It may be necessary to modify your work tasks, hobbies, or sports activities to reduce the risk of exacerbating symptoms.



5. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle


Adopting a healthy lifestyle can have a positive impact on your overall well-being. Eating a balanced diet, engaging in regular exercise (with modifications as needed), and getting sufficient rest can help strengthen your immune system, improve bone health, and enhance your ability to cope with the challenges of Kienbock Disease.



6. Seek Support


Living with a chronic condition like Kienbock Disease can be emotionally challenging. It can be helpful to seek support from friends, family, or support groups who understand your experiences. Sharing your concerns, frustrations, and triumphs with others can provide valuable emotional support and practical advice.



7. Stay Informed


Keep yourself updated about the latest research, treatment options, and self-care techniques related to Kienbock Disease. This knowledge can empower you to make informed decisions about your health and engage in discussions with your healthcare provider.



Remember, every individual's experience with Kienbock Disease is unique, and it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance. By actively managing your condition, seeking appropriate treatment, and making necessary lifestyle adjustments, you can optimize your quality of life and maintain your independence.

Yes you can be happy but there are days where the pain is so bad it gets you down and frustrated and you don't wanna do nothing but give up. My advice... Don't give up. Keep doing what your doing even if you have to do it slowly. While other may get mad or irritated, pay them no attention because they don't know the pain. All you can do is explain what's goin on and hope they understand.

I can't pay tons of money to an insurance company to get a job. I have always worked Physical jobs because I'm a man with no Bachelors or Masters Degree. Lifting requirements after I get surgery won't change at work, 35-50 lbs. alone. The surgeon failed to tell me anything and just pissed me off. I can't get into the military to pay for 2 years of college now.
