Injury Question

[LeifEricson]

Hi Everyone,

I have a case of what is called 'trigger finger.' It means the tendon in my finger has trouble passing through the tunnels that keep it connected to the bone, I think. It has been interfering with my training. I want to avoid surgery. Anyone have any tips?

Does Pavel actually check these boards?

Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
Pavel does check the forum.
In regards to your question - have you been checked by a hand specialist?
A little time spent getting an accurate diagnosis and treatment could save you a long recovery time if it is a trigger finger that gets worse.

Brett,

First off, thank you for the response.

I have been checked by a hand specialist. I'm waiting to get an MRI. I just thought I would post and see if anyone had any other advice.

You wouldn't happen to know what causes trigger finger would you?

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
good to hear - did the Dr. recommend any OT or PT for the issue?

Not yet. I'm still waiting for the MRI.
