Hi there
Im new! Have been offered a Trapeziectomy for my right thumb and am unsure if I want to go ahead. When it hurts badly I do and when its not so bad I dont!
Can you help. Had anyone got a good word of encouragement for me?

Hi dafernee and welcome from me too.
I can't really help as I've not had a trapeziectomy but, if you put the word nto the search engine above (pale blue line) former threads will come up. Also, if you re-post on the Living With Arthritis forum more people will see your thread.
Good luck!0 -

Hi dafernee
I have been putting this off for a couple of years now..for one I needed my crutches because of my THRs..like you say when the pain comes on it makes your mind up..but them it subsides thank goodness..hope you can find the info..there is loads on the net but much better to take to someone that has had it done..good luck0 -
Just really worried right now as while it was very painful, I could before manage with it like that. Now I am so wondering if I have done the right thing in having this done was it the right thing?0
