    Hi Doreen - I think all your pain will dissipate. Mine took five months and still today, 11 months later, I feel a reminder type of pain every now and then. You will feel better though. As far as arthritis in the fingers. I have it in most of first knuckle joints and had one surgery on my pinkie finger, left hand. The surgery did very little in most regards and now a fusion was recommended which I'm very reluctant to partake in. You might want to check in with a pain clinic and also try some PT on your hands. I think you will continue to improve.

    Good Luck and I wish you the best. So sorry for what you're enduring.

    Glenn

    Hi Doreen.  It sounds quite normal.  Do remember that it can take up to a year for full recovery....and yes, mornings can be the worst for stiffness and pain.  Just sent you a pm. smile
