My husband is just going to get referred to the Surgeon to have his operated on.I have known a few people that the surgery has been successful on. The hand surgeon told me he is NOT happy to do the needle thing he thinks it can cause scar tissue to form.

He did mention that as well, I’m hoping I don’t have to resort to any of it but sine I have a second nodule coming on we will see, mine is painful but I think I have some arthritis in my thumb as well.

That is interesting to know. I will share that information with my husband when he eventually makes his appointment.
I wonder if the differences in treatment (surgery vs injections) is dependent on individual patient conditions(?) I would like to believe so.
Thanks for sharing. I will be looking forward to hearing about the surgery.
