Hope you can get some relief!
Most of the pain is from the wrist arthritis, but I don't think it really matters WHERE it comes from. As I said my other hand looks much worse and has more mechanical problems - but it rarely hurts outside of minor twinges - probably in sympathy with the other hand. Hopefully I won't take after my mom in this aspect, she had terrible arthritis - though she didn't have much pain from her hands. Thankfully the medication does help but not as well as it once did. Sorry to hear about your skiing accident, but hope you were at least having fun before it happened
