Arthritis of the Base of the Thumb

 One of the most common places to get arthritis in the hand is the base of the thumb.  Another name for this joint is the carpo-metacarpal (CMC) joint or the basilar joint of the thumb.  This can be a very debilitating and painful problem.  Usually the pain is worse ofter activities that involve the affected hand.  Patients cannot lift objects or even perform the daily routine tasks without pain.
