Thanks Osutxgirl. I think it's time now to invest in a pair. Unless I decide to get CMC joint surgery I've gone as far as OT could take me. Just started STS Meso 3. (no push ups, always brace thumb joint and I use extra padding to hold dumbells). Looking forward to receiving Cathe's new Band Series. I lost so much muscle tone during the shut down I want to rebuild my body before any surgery.
