Depends if it’s damage or inflammation. Inflammation doesn’t show on x-rays. Your fingers are mostly OK then?

Just a thought. . . I have a lot of soft tissue damage. The pain at the base of my thumbs is due to instability. Hand therapy and a custom splint may be useful in quieting that down.

Yes, it's at the base of my thumbs....rarely up in the first digit of my fingers.
