As of January 2015, Ive been diagnosed with a rare wrist disease called Kienbock's disease.

"Kienböck's disease is a condition where the blood supply to one of the small bones in the wrist, the lunate, is interrupted.

Bone is living tissue that requires a regular supply of blood for nourishment. If the blood supply to a bone stops, the bone can die. This is called osteonecrosis.

Damage to the lunate causes a painful, stiff wrist and, over time, can lead to arthritis"

Cause
The cause of Kienböck's disease is not known. Many people with Kienböck's disease think they have a sprained wrist at first. They may have experienced some form of trauma to the wrist, such as a fall. This type of trauma can disrupt the blood flow to the lunate.

Some things may put you more at risk for the disease. For example, most people have two vessels that supply blood to the lunate, but in some people there is only one source. This may slow the blood flow to the bone. In addition, if the two bones of the forearm (the radius and ulna) are different lengths, extra pressure can be put on the lunate during some wrist motions. Over time, this extra stress on the bone may lead to Kienböck's disease.


Symptoms
The most common symptoms of Kienböck's disease include:

A painful and sometimes swollen wrist
Limited range of motion in the affected wrist (stiffness)
Decreased grip strength in the hand
Tenderness directly over the bone (on the top of the hand at about the middle of the wrist)
Pain or difficulty in turning the hand upward"-http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?t...

This is a slow progressing disease that Ive had for many years and it wasnt until the last 2 years where my lunate bone collapsed and finally had major symptoms.

I will post my battle to come back better than ever and return to my everyday active lifestyle!
