Kienbock's Disease

No, this is not a disease of the eye.  But watch out.  You can have it and not know it.  And many doctors won't know it either.  The causes are not exactly known.  Some suspect heredity. Others attribute it to repetitive motion and some of us that have it got it from trauma.  The fact is that it is a relatively obscure condition that has not received a lot of treatment.  Some of us that suffer from it have gotten together via the Internet and a website devoted to Kienbock's has been established.  (All the thanks and credit goes to Angela.)

If you have been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or some wrist strain that "will get better" but doesn't, you may have this problem.  Reduced range of motion (ROM) and grip strength with continual pain in the wrist are possible symptoms.  It progressively gets worse.  Check out the website and read some correspondence from those of us who have the disease.  Or you can contact us via email at kienbock information center.
