atrophy in pad of thumb
by 1topgal, Nov 29, 2008 09:51PM
I had disk surgery to replace disk in base of thumb with tendon in arm about 7 years ago. The past several months (10 or so) atrophy has been worsening in my thumb and the thumb is moving further inward toward palm. There is quite a noticeable difference in the size of my left thumb and my right thumb, the left thumb being about 1/3 smaller than the right.
Could the surgery have caused this to happen? Is there anything that can be done to correct it (implant into thumb pad?)
