I feel the pain in the thumbs were the result of injuries. Right index finger has a nodule but no pain. About 6 months ago, I had neck and back pain due to overdoing things in the garden, esp carrying heavy items. Weekly physio treatments helped a lot and eased the spine and neck. However, the pain in the shoulders, arms, wrists and thumbs continued I think because it is hard to avoid re-injuring arms and shoulders. I have continued with exercise classes although the movement of my arms is restricted. I have had stiff tap and door latches replaced, wear tight gloves when driving, and when lifting anything heavier than half kilo. Concentrating and being aware of anything that hurts my thumbs and avoiding it in future, and using both hands when lifting, have all helpedover time to ease the main pain problem. I have had the problem diagnosed as PMR and have just started taking Prednisone and Methotestrate to hopefully stop it recurring and control the inflammation. I hope I haven't left anything out as the worst of it was at the beginning which was about 6 months ago. I am now feeling much better, and hoping you will find relief soon.
