Sadly, @kitkatb ... Trigger Finger - and now Trigger Thumb (and other joint pain) is a really common problem with AIs .... and is quite debilitating. But it is 'over & above the general joint pain' that we get too - but it is never mentioned by our Oncs - yet they must hear about it every single day .....
It really needs to be investigated more thoroughly, as it is affecting our day to day lifestyle SO badly :( Every day, I am finding things I can't do - that everyone else just takes for granted, like pulling the tab off a Yoghurt Tub. Sure, I am 66, but I am not 'infirm' - I've lived with arthritis for 25 years - and it was NEVER as bad as this.
It is the meds & nothing else that is causing it.
