[peter lena 9,689]

dropped my wife off at the constitution  joint center , this morning , for a thumb bone issue , been to same center  for  hip , back  work . the work is very thorough , with  back up  home therapy  assistance , my overall  opinion of this is very good , and most important is ACTUALLY GOING  TO GET IT FIXED , the fear  is very evident  to  someone that  refuses to get help , that also  grows in the wrong way , always having a reason NOT  TO GET IT  FIXED . you can sense the fear  , and excuses .  on the way back , stopped at walmart  , just a regular day . pete

Common thumb issue. Arthritis in the CMC joint at the base of the thumb. I have it in my left thumb. Hurts like crazy when it flares up. They remove the trapezium bone and use part of a tendon rolled up in it's place. I've been hesitant to get it looked at as I've been told after surgery your in a cast for almost 6 months
