Has Anyone Had Thumb Surgery?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Griffin, GA

I have a bad thumb on my right hand and it is so painful that I can not use it. I have had shots of corticosteroids with no relief. They say surgery is the only option but I live alone and have a dog to look after and no family to help out and can not efford 24 hr care as I am still paying off agency bill from fall that required 2 surgeries on my knee.

I had a trapeziectomy five years ago. At least six months recuperation, and not able to do that much in the early stages. I, like you, have much the same in my right hand now. I live alone too now and am very hesitant to have the op on my right thumb.

I just posted about my first injection experience today. I am so sorry to hear you are not getting relief. Good luck with your decision. Thinking of you with care.

Try a hand brace, and definitely sleep with it on. Also, daily hand exercises are very helpful, along with two Life Extension Foundation (LEF) mail order supplements called: Arthromax and 5-LOX inhibitor.

Hope this helps you!
