worsen with use and movement.  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Stiffness: Difficulty moving the thumb, especially during activities requiring fine motor skills.  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Weakness: Reduced strength in the thumb, making it harder to grasp or pinch objects.  <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Swelling: The joint may become swollen and tender to the touch. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Crepitus: A grinding or cracking sensation when moving the thumb. <\/p>\n\n<p>\u2022 Deformity: In advanced cases, the thumb may develop a &#8220;Z-thumb&#8221; deformity, where the thumb joint is flexed at the base and the joint in the finger is hyperextended.   <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\"
