I’m curious. Have you been diagnosed as having Erosive, Degenerative Osteoarthritis in your hands? It is its own subset? Thanks.

Yes. It's in my body in general. My Mom and the other women in her side of the family on her father's side had it as well and ended up with horribly deformed hands as well as loss of use, so I knew decades ago that it was coming my way. It started with one thumb in my thirties and it tends to settle in for a year or so causing pain and inflammation, which causes deformity in the bone and then moves on to another finger joint. And most often, it's bilateral, which means the same finger on both hands gets it at the same time often with one not being as bad as the other. It's also in my neck but supposedly not yet in my hips according to X-rays done last summer.
