Members rallied around someone sharing photos of hand swelling before and after treatment, with most noticing visible improvement in the more recent photo. Several members shared that how the hand feels day to day is just as important as how it looks, and one member noted a meaningful sign of progress by being able to remove a ring that had been stuck for a week. A recurring theme was encouragement and hope, with members asking thoughtful follow-up questions about pain, tightness, and next steps while awaiting X-ray results for possible arthritis.

@A MyFibroTeam Member @A MyFibroTeam Member steroids make me feel like Wonder Woman. I have had energy like never before. But I know I can’t use them for anytime I get pain. I think the swelling went down. I took my ring off today, which I wasn’t able to do a week ago. Waiting on X-ray results to determine arthritis and go from there. Thanks one and all!

The right side looks normal! Did you find out what caused the swelling? Glad to see it went away.
