Hello all--
Checked the threads, found nothing specifically on this. Just wondering if anyone else has had a medical diagnosis on this; it's basically a degeneration of cartilage between the basal thumb joint and the wrist bone adjacent, causing bone-on-bone contact with resulting inflammation of the joint and pain associated with it.
It's not a case of "my thumb hurt so I changed the thumb rest" etc., it's a specific diagnosis with a hierarchy of non-surgical treatments leading up to surgical intervention (which is where I am right now).
Playing bass clarinet, with all those right-hand thumb levers, is out of the question, and THAT needs to get fixed.
Just wondering if anyone else has HAD the surgery, and what your results were?
