Kinda difficult to ride with fu*ked up thumbs.
I had surgery last month and hope to be back on a bike by.....IDK March or April.
My arthritis was so bad I was beyond bone on bone. I was bone into bone
Everyday shit was painful.
Doc plucked out the bad bone and replaced it with a chunk of tendon from my forearm. Tied a few knots or something and all should be well in a few months. I'm doing therapy now twice a week until the end of the year.
I have been shit bored for the last month and a half.
Try doing everything you do with your left (or off hand) for a month. Fu*k me what a pain in the ass.

Try being in 10th grade with 2 broken arms cast finger tips to arm pits. Very humbling school days.

At least when I've broken my wrist/arm I had the good sense to do it on my off-hand. That's some pretty gnarly thing you've got going on there Bruce and hope you get a full recovery on it. How long before you can do any strength exercises on it?

arthritis is a bummer as we age. My left knee will just out of the blue get sore and feel "tight" for 2-3 days then it subsides and I am good to go. But the dupuytren's contracture I am developing in my left hand can be a real challenge at times! Out of the blue my fingers will do their own thing and I have to stretch them out. It is weird when it comes on when I am riding as my fingers will involuntarily wrap around the bars! But atleast it is not painful
Hang in there Bruce, you'll be GOOD TO GO BY SPRING!
