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!

Thank you for my hug
