Hello, and welcome. I am one of the few that has symptoms primarily in hands and feet. When I was in my first real flare a few years ago, I was pretty much helpless for about 2 months. Since that time I have been close to fully functional....some abilities have never returned, like doing a push up...it hurts my wrist too much. I usually golf, but lately have been having too much pain in my ribs.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that the outcomes vary, and we can assume nothing....that is to say, do not assume that staying this way and getting worse are the only posabilities. I hope your enbrel works well

good luck, Brian
