A member asked:

What's the treatment for minimal narrowing of the first and second carpometacarpal joints?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends.: If you have symptoms in those joints then maybe a pain reliever is in your futre. My suspicion is that this was an incidental finding and really means nothing.
