Don't wait, just get the surgery to fix the problem. It is worth it!

I'm never quick to suggest surgery, but I've seen my husband's issue with trigger finger. He tried to treat it everyday and ran the risk of making it worse. He finally got the surgery and now his problem is fixed forever, saving his tendon from further injury.

When in Zimbabwe in the nineties I had both hands operated similtaneously, the surgeon was surprised at my request but with the help of plastic bags I managed all the necesary biological requirements untill everything healded, stiches finally disolving in my bath .

I have that on my right ring finger, it is not very painful, but it locks in the closed position.
There is no audible pop, but it pops when I open it...like a latch has been released.
Cool video!

[DanielRannu]

excellent explanation! thanks for sharing

[zelingustavo]

very good, thank you for this amazing topic

no doctor has been able to explain to me why my trigger finger only gets stuck when i close it by clenching a fist. But it will NOT get locked when i just move the finger while relaxed with my other hand. Also when i push my forearm pressure point, it closes my finger adn then it locks. my dr. doesn't know why either adn just says "Get surgery".

Type 1 diabetic woman reaching my 40s. Not got much going for me, especially as i have neuropathy and now trigger thumb 😢

[EUCTroll]

I definitely have this. My pinky gets stuck in a flexed position. It "pops" when I stretch it open and happens in the mornings and gets better throughout the day when it's in constant use. I don't have the pain, though. Started to happen a little over a month ago, and I'm 37 yrs old.

I have this on both hands and had my right hand operated on.

[lesleyheller]

Arthritis is also a risk factor. And mine showed up at age 72. Splinting 24/7 and icing of the nodule really improved it.

[jeanetteraichel]

So, if your whole hand hurts all the time and it pops all day long. My fingers on that hand will curl in and lock whole my whole arm is numb.

[Noodlepony]

I have this from constant metal grinding at work

[pralinewilkinson]

I have my right ring finger going through this right now. I need to get it checked out

[kwitseo]

Had this problem and had steroid injections for both of my middle fingers. My middle fingers had always pop since I was a child, however.

Can you make some more for Osteomyelitis, Bone tumors and Humerus fractures?

[tonycapuno]

I had in my MIDDLE FINGER, it's very painful when it's LOCK, I just used GOLF BALL and SQUEEZE IT, the pain removed temporary and I just massage it.Any other way it will remove permanently(not to mention operation or injection)

[reeveshanara]

If I had tenosynovitis and it’s supposed to have healed can I still have trigger finger?

[munazahadnan]
