Thank you Colleen. Quilting is my therapy these days. My visit with the hand surgeon went well. Turns out his wife is a retired breast surgeon. He confirmed the trigger thumbs are due to trauma & swelling from the breast surgeries. Then he said, “then we divorce the two things”. There’s cause & effect, but the treatment only happens in the hands, either shots or a simple tendon release surgery. That’s a relief!
