sharyn Trigger Finger, a medical problem (43) RE: Trigger Finger, a medical problem 29 Jan 09


Roger,

Find yourself a hand doc who refers to a reputable occupational hand therapist: OTs can specialize in hands and can be quite good at non-invasive methods.

I don't have "trigger finger," but I do have bent fingers leftover from a fracture and Dupuytren's contracture (however you spell it). I have been in hand therapy for six weeks or so and the treating doctor and two other doctors have been impressed with my progress. I have been using heat, splints of various sorts and lots of stretching exercises, all prescribed by the hand therapist.

Good luck!

Sharyn
