I've been using natural anti-inflammatory means. I fell on my hands and had x-rays and a MRI saying there are no fractures but sever first carpometacarpal join chondral loss. My thumb didn't bother me before the fall. I have to wear a brace to keep from pain with stress on the joint. I've had PRP in my knee and I feel that it has helped my knee, so I want to try it for my thumb.
