What should you do if your arthritis is so bad that you cannot put weight on your wrist?
I can certainly sympathize with you because my mother had the problem and my aunt has it. I suggest you go to a specialty drug store and get a Tensor bandage or something else they may recommend to help keep your wrist from shifting (sort of like something one would use for carpal tunnel) and you see this on especially cashiers in stores or anyone that is on the computer for a long period of time. This is usually caused by repetitive action.
I would also like to point out that you can see a specialist (if you haven't already) for arthritis and there are several medications to get you through the rough spots, but frequent blood testing should come along with it because these meds can be hard on the liver. However, short-term (such as colder weather if that is what bothers you) should be just fine and the specialist will wean you off the medication he has you on.
When grocery shopping most large grocery chains will ask if you need help. If they don't ask! Get one of those smaller carts (on two wheels) so once home you can push or pull the cart into the house. Try to keep the strain off your wrists and if you do a lot of repetitive work such as being on the computer, knitting or needlework then give your wrists a rest. It's very important that you do keep your wrists mostly active (even though painful) because it will be a lot worse for you if you don't use them to some degree. The Tensor bandage enables you to do this without moving the wrist too dramatically (turning from side-to-side.)
If your arthritis is so bad that you are unable to carry on normal activity's or even before that, it is important that you check in with a rheumatologist and find out exactly what you are suffering from. Rheumatoid arthritis for example needs to be brought under control as it can totally destroy the joints it effects leaving you no choice but to replace them. this and a lot of pain can usually be avoided with the correct medication.
