I am having out patient surgery on my left thumb on Monday morning. It has become too painful to continue without fixing it. My right thumb has similar issues and even though I'm right handed, it's the left that has given me the most pain.
I've been wearing this brace which immobilizes the joint and provides some relief. But thumbs are so necessary for doing so much.
The doctor assured me its a quick and easy fix and I'll be pain free once it heals. He will remove the tiny bone that has no cartilage and replace it with a bit of tendon from my arm. Not sure I totally understand how that will work but take his word for it that it will.
That being said, I may be MIA for a week or so.

...my hands and feet are stiff and don't move the way I'd like. Too bad they can't put some grease fittings in! Good luck.
Very best wishes for Monday!
I'm so sorry that it's come to this. I'll keep you and your surgeon in my prayers. Hope the healing is fast and uneventful!
Take care
Sorry you have to have surgery. I hope all goes well and heals quickly. It's wonderful that you will be without pain when all is over. Take care!
Prayers for you. Hope everything goes well..
Hugs,

My thoughts will be with you on Monday, Marcia. Wishing you a complete recovery. Take time to read and relax as you heal.��
Good luck on your pending surgery. Hopefully the pain will subside.
Hope all goes well tomorrow.
Had to come back here to read about your surgery. I hope you have a full and fast recovery!
I'm so sorry for all you're going through. I definitely know what you're going through. It really does cramp our ability to do what we need to do.
