Rhizarthrosis is osteoarthritis of the base of the thumb. This pathology is very common in women over 50 years old. Genetic factors, menopause or the repetition of certain gestures seem to favour its appearance. Its evolution by seizures causes painful inflammatory attacks and gradually leads to stiffness and deformation of the thumb. It becomes gradually impossible to grasp an object between the thumb and forefinger or other fingers.

INFOX

The pains felt at night are related to a bad position of the thumb joint during sleep.

FALSE! The position of the thumb during sleep is a factor that comes into play in nocturnal pain, but thumb pressure during the day is also an important parameter. Indeed, even if we are not aware of it, the hands and the thumb in particular are constantly in movement, even when it is not a question of making gestures of grasping. Preserving the thumb during the day is therefore essential.
