Guest guest Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Hi Everyone My name is MayAnn live in Kansas w/my ol man our kids & animals. I was diagnosed a few mnths back w/arthritis @ base of my right thumb (im right handed go fig) ortho surg. & RA doc both told me its a localized arthritis gave me voltaren gel & it wrked for a bit today she put me on lidoderm patches told me if this dont wrk its back to ortho surg. he wants to cut the tendion but my family doc said that cutting the tendion in the thumb wont make it better it will make the pain even worse & even if it helped it would be maybe a 10yrs fix. Im only 33 its like to use my hands longer than 10yrs more. Im not asking for medical advise just information im sure im not the only 1 w/this or similar issues. Thanks MayAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
