Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
It appears that I have trigger thumb in my right (dominant) hand. I've had it immobilized for a week but its getting worse (I can't bend the thumb at all without significant pain).
I had carpel tunnel surgery in both wrists. The surgeon said that trigger finger often appears in people with carpel tunnel syndrome. My reading suggests that three possible treatments are (1) immobilization for 1 - 6 weeks (2) cortisone shot (3) outpatient surgery under local anesthesia
If you've had trigger finger I'd love to hear how it was treated and what your experience was.
