Ironic. My thumbs are giving me a lot of trouble right now. I think it may be due to increased device use; trying to maintain outside connections to people and looking for information. It feels like carpiral tunnel of the thumbs.

@windwalker @sueinmn ...Hello. I actually had 2 separate injections into my thumb back before this virus hit. My thumb was frozen in place and the 2nd injection (about a month after the first) unlocked it. It still is not great but there is a little flexibility. I had scheduled surgery but then I did not want to go through with it after the virus was starting. I am hoping it may resolve on it's own...not sure. My 3 adjacent fingers to that thumb were all triggering and with the shots and some home exercising, they are almost back to normal. Always something. The shots hopefully will bring some relief. Good luck. Kate

@windwalker888 @irene5 I too share your thumb pain! Just had another injection it doesn’t keep me awake at night. I severed a major tendon years ago, snow skiing, and had emergency repair surgery then. Now it’s arthritis, for which I have a genetic predisposition. (If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother.)
