Re: Sore Thumbs?

I had suffered from mild pain in my right thumb basal joint since, many years ago, I had worked on my boat with electric tools. After I began playing clarinet at 70 of course it gradually worsened. In medical terms this typical condition is called "rhizarthrosis". I get along by using a neck strap and occasional use of diclofenac ointment. In more severe cases cortisone injections, and ultimately surgery, are applied.
