My dad had it in both hands. His doctor operated on both hands multiple times, which is now known to be the worst thing to do. After all the surgeries, he was barely able to use his hands at the end of his life.

I’ve been told that it’s more common in men but my brother doesn’t have it and I do. Go figure.

I even have a few nodules in the arch of my left food. Those were really painful when they first showed up.
