I have osteoarthritis in both thumbs, mainly right but I don't think I'd every have the surgery. The few people that I know who have had it suffered through the pain but in the end didn't gain much from having it done. I'll be 74 this June and I think my thumbs will have to last me to the end.

My left one went great but I'm right handed so I wish it had been the other way round then I would manage to dot hings better and with less pain I think. The docs do say if you can put up with the pain till it fuses itself then the pain would be less or even go completely.
Besides pain, what are your symptoms in your thumbs. A weird thing is happening on my right thumb. When I bend it, instead of straightening back normally, it pops back at the knuckle. It is worse in the morning, returning to normal in the afternoon, although still achy.
