Suggestions tor bone-on-bone thumb arthritis with regard to protocols and placement of coils.
I have used stacked coils (Coban wrapped bumpy side to bumpy side) slipped over the thumb with an M1 on Omni 8 at level 9 with good results (though I didn’t have confirmed bone on bone joint pain, just pain at the thumb to hand joint). You could also sandwich the joint/area of pain between two coils and use tape or coban or fabric to hold them in place. If those settings don’t seem to produce results you can experiment with higher and lower power levels and if you still don’t get results, consider different protocols beside Omni 8. That is where I would start. I suggest you search around on the forum (maybe while you have the coils treating your thumb) and see if you find other direct experience that might help. I think you will find most people for most joint/muscle pain start with a similar protocol. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Just got my M1 yesterday and started with the coils on each side of the base if my thumb using Omni 8, level 9. Not sure how long to wear the coils to get results before I should start experimenting.
In my experience, using it for minimum of 8 hours a day for a week is necessary to see if there are the beginning signs of improvement.
I found that putting the bumpy sides together while treating a small area not as helpful as piggybacking the loops in the same direction and putting my finger through the loops
I have found that side by side is more helpful sometimes for treating other areas and I’m glad you found that helped in this case. Part of the value of this forum is that individuals can share specific experiences and then others can account for those as they develop their own plans. Good luck with your treatments and experimentation.
