Thread Name: Trigger Finger Syndrome
Subject: RE: Trigger Finger Syndrome
I have Dupuytrens Contracture in my left hand. It is hereditary -according to my orthopaedist- and there is no known cure. Surgery sometimes corrects the condition permanently and sometimes not.
My Grandfathers hands were crippled from this disease. His little fingers were bent almost to the palm and the ring fingers about half that far.
I have no loss of mobility as yet but there is pain.
I have also had carpal tunnel in my left hand (my thumb) and a shot of cortisone plus an elbow pad took care of that. So don't give up hope. There is relief for all these conditions.
