Re: Right thumb CMC arthritis

Thanks, Michael. Yeah, sounds like you have the same thing, though in my case it's not the weight of the instrument (since it rests on the floor) but the pressure needed when pressing the thumb down on all the weighted levers--diclofenac sodium 2x day doesn't help, cortisone injection helped briefly but only temporarily. Surgery is the only option left AFAIK, and was wondering if anyone had HAD the surgery & how the recuperation went.

Thanks for weighing in.
