That's not something I've had. Hope you get some responses soon Flowers

I have just turned down this option. I have had hand surgery before, it’s a long recovery and it’s not certain that it will improve matters and it could be worse. I may reconsider but I’m likely to need multiple joint replacements in the future and I’m not sure this one is worth it but would love to hear anybody experience too.

Thanks both
The pain and lack of motion now is making it seem like I'm going to have to have it soon, unfortunately the steroid injections don't have any effect

Can they not fuse the joint? I had mine done ages ago, was painful op but then recovery and hand physio was easy and I have t heard a peep out of it for 15 years!
