Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing to XXXXXXX
After going through your description, I felt that you are a very motivated person. The management of Arthrogryposis is very cumbersome and recurrences are also very common after surgical corrections.
The Non surgical principles of management involves Physiotherapy, Stretching and Splintage.
Tendon transfer surgeries may be helpful in providing some amount of movements in weak joints.
If a particular joint is painful and flail, then Arthrodesis in a functional position yields satisfactory results.
Some general tips from my side -
* Get rid of the negative thoughts in your head
* Get rid of the stress in your life (as much as possible)
* Get mentally healthy
* Mind-body relaxation: yoga, tai chi etc
* Expect success – visualize it
Hope I have addressed your query. Happy to help further
Regards
