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.

A MyOsteoTeam Member

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.
