71 & 3/4" here. I have trouble with my hands all the time - can't remember how many cortisone jabs I 've had in my wrists and sometimes in the palm of my left hand.
Got trigger finger in my right hand middle finger last year resulting in surgery, and now I'm having similar problems on my left and much pain.
I play righty but I'm left handed so my left hand does more work than my right, and is noticeably larger.
My sister is nine years older than I and always complaining about her hands.
I have to wear "weightlifters" mittens in the gym, and avoid gripping weights etc. I also use them when driving.
Gardening - pulling, lifting, cutting etc., is becoming problematic too.
However I went for my monthly massage yesterday and asked her to concentrate on my left foot and left hand.
As I have come to expect, she started on my shoulder, and worked down to my hand working mostly on my forearm and wrist. Today feels better.
she tells me that the problem is mainly in the forearm - similar issues ar problems with my with my damaged left foot.
I left with instructions to massage inside of my forearms with my "spikey ball"
