I'm new to this forum(Hi!)and I'm appalled to see how much people are suffering from this dreadful ailment.It makes my case seem pathetically trivial in comparison.For me the pain is just confined to the right thumb,and it has never been anywhere near constant pain.What seemed to start it(and my doctor agrees)was years of washing dishes by hand in very hot water,as I was working in a hotel,so that it was just mostly wear and tear that gave rise to it+some hereditary factor(my sister has it too--in the same place) Anyway,it can still be very painful at times,even though I have given up that work.So I started taking Mobic,and the pain and stiffness is almost gone.So I recommend the stuff-it's good.I also recommend you get it online-it's much cheaper that way.Go to www.westcoastdrugs.com, a site for generic drugs that gives big reductions.
