I recently went to the doctor about pain in my thumb (joint closest to the wrist) and was told it is arthritis and for opening jars I should get one of those kitchen jar openers. Either the under the counter or a hand held one. Roberta

If so, how did you address this issue? We have had occupational health assess the process; there haven't been any suggestions yet.
