Arthritis In Both Thumbs
4 Answers
I have constant pain in both Thumbs. I think its from arthritis. (both my elderly mum and her sister have twisted hands from Arthritis) On bad days it spreads to my fingers. I am not old, 50 last birthday. It affects me when I try to get cans, tins and plastic tops off, and generally when I use my hands. I've had it for about 18 months. It seems so trivial therefore I have never gone to the doctor, I don't want to bother him. But I would love some relief from this condition. My sister-in-law says See the doc, cos its not trivial, but they have really long waiting times for non urgent things, our surgery is 10 days waiting, and the receptionists are a nightmare. She also says copper bracelets etc don't work because she has arthritis a bit and she's tried them and they have no effect.
