Re: Right thumb CMC arthritis

I have had both of my thumb joints replaced due to basal thumb arthritis. I do not have any issues playing B flat clarinet, tenor or alto sax. I had the peocedure where they remove the bone at thr base of your thumb and harvest a tendon from your arm to squish into the place where the bone was. I would suggest finding a good surgeon who has lots of experience with this procedure and have it done. No more pain. No more grinding and no more feeling of electric shock when you turn a doorknob or a key. Best of luck
