Anyone suffering / suffered from TRIGGERFINGER...????

[thumper18474]

Since I had my Picc line removed a few months ago I have noticed my fingers on the hand have become stiffer and stiffer...hard to close hand...cant make a fist.
apparently I have what is commonly called."triggerfinger"
Tendon which runs thru a tunnel is either swollen //inflamed...
but all of them? some worse than others...
has anyone here experienced it?
how severe?
I know surgery is a last resort option but Im not even gonna consider it until atleast I get back from Hawaii

Anyone got any home remedies I can try?

Yes, I have a finger with this.

My only real advice is get a consult with a hand surgeon if only to see what they have to say.


Just as chit-chat I'm not at all an expert on the condition, however, yours is the first I've heard of it being every finger on a hand simultaneously.

The only home remedy I've been told about is try not to aggravate it, but how you would do that when it is the whole hand involved beats me.

My physician has told me wait until it becomes problematic.

Have you tried soaking it in a warm pussy?

Time to see a hand surgeon. Just do it and get help.

Have you been checked for gout or diabetes?

My physician has told me wait until it becomes problematic.

And then what? Surgery?

If im working and i need to pickup stuff...wrench on something...hold stuff...i can block out the pain and get the job done
Its afterwards that is the most painful....during down time..sleeping the pain is almost unbearable
Cant even grip a pillow to pick it up...ugh
BTW...warm pussy isnt warm enough...cold is actually better...lol

And then what? Surgery?

Yes.

Sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome: inflammation of the nerve that runs through a narrow tunnel of bones in your wrist. Surgery is probably in your future. It’s a repetitive strain injury.

Rather similar in this case inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the finger so that basically it "seizes up."

First try using one hand to jerk off.
If that doesn’t work try using the other hand.
If that doesn’t work try to stop jerking off.
if that still doesn’t work ask your doctor for a referral to get a cortisone shot.
Surgery will be your last resort if you have tried cortisone shots.

^ From what I've been told if you are lucky cortisone will work well. But that for most people it is a stop gap. Since I'm not an M.D. specializing in disorders of the hand, take this for second hand information.

I have trigger finger in 1 and its a hassle. It gets stiffer as time goes by. Especially stiff in the morning. Had cortisone shots twice and each time it only lasted a few months before it gets stiff again. I am considering surgery.

Yeah ...I have a feeling surgery is in the cards but I wanna wait as long as I can before it( running hot water over the hand helps alot) .... mornings are the worst...
