Both my thumbs ae severely effected by arthritis as well as Dupuytrens contracture & arthritis disease in my hands. Surgery on my thumbs will cause a huge flair with collagen build up in plams causing fingers to contract more. Have had to have two fingers released with a protien injection called Xiaflex. They were frozen at 90' . Painful but after a few weeks the fingers are manunipulated and completely released and opened again. Yay!
With no strength in my thumbs always dropping things and worse life can be a bit tricky. I wear a splint glove in both hands nightly. Keeps my fingers from curling/contracting but is very painful on the thumb joints.
Does anyone have any ideas what splints or treatments they have used to refer! Most Drs. Usually throw their hands up and say not much they can do with the double wammy diagnosis in my hands also carpel tunnel in both wrists.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Usually experience is the best source to search for answers.
