@jonijean Yikes, I never heard of that in my 2 CMC surgeries. Also, the nerve block was less effective for my thumbs than the one I had yesterday for wrist replacement. Maybe they think they can use less fot the smaller joint, or it is harder to get it in the right spot?

@sueinmn they used ultrasound but he also a trainee. I don’t know who did it. I had my eyes closed it was so painful. Google said they may have hit the ulnar nerve instead. Or the CPPD changed my nerve pathways. I don’t know but I have learned after 10 steroid injections it’s all about the doctor.
