Thumb Base
My CMC
The carpometacarpal (CMC) joint at the base of your thumb is one of the most-used joints in the body.
What can go wrong
CMC arthritis is one of the most common forms of hand arthritis, typically affecting women over 40. Symptoms include pain at the base of the thumb, weakness in grip and pinch, and a squaring appearance at the joint. Conservative treatment includes splinting, anti-inflammatories, and therapy; advanced cases may need surgery.
Prevention
- Avoid repetitive pinching and gripping
- Use ergonomic tools and jar openers
- Thumb-strengthening exercises
