i think you've been on my thread about this but i haven't updated it yet. i got a "splint" made molded with my hand wrapped around a bar, like a handlebar. it fits perfectly for riding and i have not felt any pain at all. it's some material that is soft when warm and wet and then molds rock hard when cold and dry. dunno if that is an option for you but for me it's a miracle.
doc said it was a tear on a tiny ligament, too small to operate on. just need to let it heal naturally, 3-4 months. i'm at the end of month 3 now. it's not hard to make it hurt without the splint tho.

Good luck with that ripz. Do any and all pt that the doc gices you.
Hopefully, this will be the final fix for me. Shit sucks right now though. Way more painful than the previous 3 surgeries. I really want to get on my bike.

So it's been over a year now since your last post. How is your thumb doing now?? Please update. Thanks!

The thumb is great! Wish I had done the fusion sooner. I rarely have any pain and no issues with regular mtb shifters and thin odi ruffian grips. Just finished a 6 month renovation project swinging hammers, magging concrete pads, laying block etc. No real issues at all. The loss of range of motion is almost never an issue.
