I Have Thumb Arthritis – What Do I Do?

“Hoang, I think I have thumb arthritis. What can I do about it?”

People tell me this all the time, no matter if it’s someone calling at the clinic, a stranger I meet out, or a friend/family member.

Pain doesn’t equal arthritis but this is the impression that I get.

One of the 1st things I rule out when someone comes to the clinic is rule out the pain they feel is from a bony issue like arthritis. You might be surprised, but most people’s pain isn’t coming from the arthritis even if the X-rays show bony changes to the joint.

The thumb does 50% of the work of your hand – so it’s important to get to the root cause and get rid of thumb pain.

You use your thumb to have a strong pain free grip. You also need your thumb to pick up smaller objects.
