  1. I absolutely hate when men use sports analogies to explain something. Not everyone watches every sport and, believe it or not, a lot of us don’t care at all about sports. Do better.

  2. I had right thumb cmc and it was rough. It felt foreign for almost two years…and a huge arthritic hump was removed. Now the left thumb hurts doing normal activities. I am a 59 year old male (I know) and it seems to run in the family.

  3. Have you guys done much implant Arthroplasty ? I have been very happy with the results over the last 27 years I am currently using only the second implant I’ve ever used

  4. I am very happy the surgery is working out so well for you. I am just wondering if you are able to play full bar chords further up the neck, say past the 7th fret. This would be more of a R&R style rather than finger picking. Continue the good healing.

  5. I had surgery done on my left hand: Thumb Arthroplasty and Ligament Reconstruction (LRTI) for Arthritis. What makes it so different from this type of surgery in your video? Outside of the really bad arm cramps and having to wear a splint that comes all the way up to my elbow; and pain all the way up to my neck and even over and down into my boob and back shoulder blade…?? Also, I can't do ice only cool wet rags as the ice packs are too much and cause even more pain.
