Well, there are fashions in music, inguitars, in jeans, and in surgeries. We've hadthe CTS release, the trigger finger surgery (two on the left, one on the right) and now it is our CMC joint that's going home.

I have a client who is recovering from this, and I'm wearing a brace on my right hand as often as I can manage - it all blew up changing gear on my bicycle on the way to the gym and back last summer.

I actually got an appointment with my GP a fortnight ago and he diagnosed the problem he's what they call a GPSI (gypsy) - means GP-Special Interest and he's a bones and joint man!

He advised against surgery - but the way that the NHS has been damaged politically, it is unlikely that I could get it done in my lifetime now.
