thumb injection

2 Replies

Got my thumb joint injected today. The tendon is shrinking and causing the end joint on my thumb to lock. Very painful to pop out. lids,buttons,handles, etc always a challenge. Hopefully this will help, but if not will need a operation. Has anybody else had problems with the tendons?

Not sure if mine are tendons but my thumbs crack all the time, they lock then i have to crack them and sometimes they click non stop all day everytime i bend my thumbs. Took vitimin tablets and stuff but nothing seems to be working.

Hope things get better with your thumb :)

Thanks, It seems to be fine after the injection but i don't know how long that will last.
