Hi @kitcat firstly let me welcome you to the forum I hope you find the information and support you are after from our wonderful community.

I can see from your post that you have recently had an Osteoarthritis diagnosis within your thumbs.

The site is full of information and conversations like the one you have commented too. I wanted to signpost you to some links around hand Osteoarthritis and also how to manage hand pain.
