My mom is 44 and was just diagnosed with thumb arthritis. I'm really worried and wanted to ask can this be cured for good without surgery? Are there any ayurvedic treatments that might help? What about non-ayurvedic options? Also, how long does it usually take to heal completely, and is there a chance it could come back later?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
