Basal thumb arthritis

hi sorry your worring so much I'm not sure about the fusing op I would assume that means making the joint so theres no movement from it as fir having a general anaesthetic I've had a few of those over the years they are nothing to sorry about you will be fine

Hi N, Very interesting, I knew by the way you described it the type of surgery, I went and watched it...sounds like a perfect fix for you, I have osteoarthritis of....well, lets just say a LOT of joints, if I had to have my worst day in a joint everyday, I seriously might let them cut it off...its brutal pain, I am sorry you have to go through that...I have had 7 surgeries, still nervous every time but, as long as you are HONEST with your Anaesthesiologist about meds(OTC, RX, illicit)alcohol, medical history, allergies/sensitivities & etc...follow pre-surgery rules(fasting, any other prep) you should be fine, going in confident/assured will help you a lot, I researched the (you know what) out of every porcedure, it helped me but, its not for everybody, sometimes the basics are just fine...at the very least look forward to the pain going away(that's an option now)...Do exactly what they tell you along the healing journey, ask questions if you aren't sure, don't just assume, REMEMBER...this will take time, you cant rush it, be patient & take it a day at a time...Good Luck with your surgery, hope its a huge success & you have a speedy recovery, come back ANYTIME...BEST WISHES💒🎶♾🐾🍀☮
