Hi Anne

I am afraid it could be the start of arthritis in your hand. It would be best to check it out with your gp and have an xray done. This will show up any arthritis if that is the problem.

I have arthritis in both thumbs and now one knee only as I eventually had a total knee replacement in the other over a year ago. It seems to be luck of the draw whether one can escape arthritis when doing an abundance of work of a manual nature. I have done a lot in my time too and thoroughly enjoyed it, I hasten to add and I feel that is what hurried my arthritis along big time. Others, doing exactly the same kind of work get away with it. Lucky them

Look after yourself,
