Resistance Bands vs weights and pain in base of thumbs

So- I have been diagnosed with arthritis in the base of my thumb- I'm pretty sure from overuse... which is a real bummer because I absolutely love using dumbbells... but after trying a thumb splint and thumb exercises and Voltaren, and a few more things- it just becomes clear to me that dumbbells is what is causing me the problem- and if I keep using them- it won't get better. SO. I am making a full switch to resistance bands. Just wondering what experiences other people have with resistance bands- and if you've been able to use them consistently with FB workouts. Thanks!!
