← Return to Heberden’s nodes: Does anyone use finger sleeves?

I was trying to say that I don’t have much success keeping the finger splints on. In addition to the Heberden’s nodes, I also have Bouchard’s nodes. I have the most trouble with the thumb on my right hand as far as bruising & pain go. (I am left-handed.) I have very little ability to bend the fingers on my right hand & a fist is impossible. The problem hit my left hand later and I have fairly good mobility in my middle & baby fingers.

Have you considered surgery for the Bouchard's nodes? I have a large Bouchard's node on my middle finger. It is not painful but it is getting larger so am considering surgery, but not sure about how risky this is and whether there are complications from it.
