For context, I am 35 and have arthritis in my STT and CMC joints with no cartilage left between the joints following a car accident.

The pain is mild to moderate , depending on what I am doing. Some days it’s okay and other days it sucks.

I saw a wrist surgeon that said they wouldn’t want to do surgery on my wrist due to my age, nor do I want it.

They want me to have a cortisone shot but I am hesitant as it is just a bandaid solution, maybe a few months relief at best and then it’ll be the same as before and it’s not like I can have them for the rest of my life.

Looking for peoples advice and experiences.
