I know we have a great forum here, and figure there are a lot of you out there that have personal experience dealing with Osteoarthritis and uke playing. I am not having too much pain at the moment, but I'm more concerned with Range of Motion and a left pinky finger that doesn't bend anymore due to inflammation. Stiffness and difficulty closing my fingers into a tight fist are other signs of changes I do not like. My mother had a hand deformity that had her fingers all slanted sideways, but I think that didn't start to happen until she was much older than I am.
So, what is your story? I know Osteoarthritis is very common, and I would be interested in hearing what you have learned. It may affect which kind of doctor I might choose, since I think some kind of specialist is a good idea. I would prefer non-surgical solutions.
