Just dropping a short post because I've reached a milestone (for me) in this saga of my RA. Today I was able to lift the 15 lb. dumbbell I used for the dumbbell bench press with my left hand alone. No assistance at all either lifting it up into position or putting it down on the floor. I consider that huge because my wrist pain has prevented me from doing a large number of exercises.
When I saw the rheumatologist last Thursday, she said it would take a few months for the medication to fully kick in. It looks like it is doing that and now my wrist can get stronger so I lift heavier weights. I think the next time Rog changes my workout we can incorporate a lot more exercises. I am so pleased!
