Sorry to hear you're in pain but yes, we understand only too well what that entails. Do take time to read around current posts: as you can see from searching the forums there's quite a lot of recent experience with having a trapeziectomy:

The web site also has a good section on coping with pain and has a useful booklet you can download.

I look forward to reading your posts on the forums

I'm sorry you're in so much pain and seem to have had post-op problems but, yes, you've come to the right place. On here we can both sympathise and empathise.
My OA is due to my RA. I've had new knees and hips but my feet are – though not exactly as nature intended :roll: – still all my own. Many days, I wish they were someone else's
You are in luck, of a kind, as 'megrose' has also just had a trapeziectomy. You can find her thread(s) on the Living With Arthritis forum. She's one of our regulars and I'm sure she'll be happy to exchange 'progress notes'.
Good luck with it all and I hope to see you on the other forums
I hope your recovery goes well, keep in touch and let us know how you're getting on. DD
