Yep. Same. Those are the worst. Limits my ability to text or type on my phone. On worse days have to use voice. They do get better other days though. At first I thought it would be progressive - that would be worse. (Thought it would keep getting worse and worse.) I’m new to this. But yes, you’re not alone.
I deal with the same annoying pains as well. I tell Arthur to calm down

I am left-handed and now at the age of 76 seem to find my left thumb hurts a lot when I try to open a jar or grab something. I sprained my whole left hand about a year ago when I was driving thru the CO mountains in a rental car. Hung on to the steering wheel to tight and my hand ended up severely swollen and palm was blood red for about 24 hours. Now this same hand is giving me problems with the joints in my left thumb. Guess I am resigned to the fact that this will stay with me forever.
Those are among my worst joints, too, along with my feet. I get great relief from immersing the joints in cold water, elevating, and resting. The pain reminds me to rest more to avoid a flare.
