      The exercise at 3:36 is one of the exercises that I did through experimentation and found it to be the best exercise for relieving and improving my trigger finger condition. Pulling the finger back straight is the key to make this exercise painless. I'm so glad that it turned out to be an exercise recommender by a hand expert.

    Hi Michelle, I am a full-time manual wheelchair user and have had issues in the past with moderate carpal tunnel discomfort. Recently, I started feeling more trigger finger in my pointer fingers (both hands) and I came across your video today. The last two exercises really isolated the area I've been feeling. Thank you so much for your clear explanations of what to do!

  • @Leomann88
    @Leomann88 Місяць тому +2

    I don't know how to thank you but these 3 exercises you demonstrated fixed my 3 y/o trigger finger. I was battling with it from 2021 and doctors always dismissed me saying it's probably in my head and gave me pills. After my accident and using crutches, the trigger finger became much worse and painful. To the point of using something like 50% of my hand / palm / finger. After like 1 month of doing these exercises every day, multiple times a day my hand went from 50 % to over 95 % better. It's not perfect ofc but it feels normal again ( with very small exceptions. )
    So again, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

    I scheduled another cortisone injection because one finger was starting to flare up. I tried the exercises just once- especially the third one, and my pain and stiffness are nearly gone. I canceled the cortisone injection. I'm so glad there are exercises. I've had this problem for several years and never knew there was hand therapy for it. I use my hands a lot so I am going to do these exercises every day as a prevention. Thank you!

      If your doctor says that it's okay, add muscle development on top of the stretches. That knocked my serious thumb and finger issue completely out of the park.

    I went to a top hand Md . He offered injection and surgery in one year if it Doesn’t work. I told him I wanted to do OT and splint.
    I got a splint and the OT looked at me weird and said there’s no OT for trigger finger and the dr did not put an order in.
    I’m also an amputee which makes it more complicated. I’m adapting your instructions
    Well, I worked for 15 years as a medical interpreter and I’ve seen it done several times.
    Just to say if it wasn’t for professionals like you on UA-cam it would be very difficult

      My hand doctor offered injection on the left middle finger, which I decided to accept, but when my right middle finger started triggering, I opted to see a hand therapist. Exercises have been slowing thing progression down but still triggering, so I cam here.
      Prior to this, I was seeing a physical therapist for other stuff, and she said she didn't know anything about hands, so I'm guessing that's its own specialty, which might be why the OT said nothing to be done.

    Thank you for the exercises- I will certainly give them a try. I’ve had injections & the doctor said next time it’ll have to be surgery.
    Was wondering about the oval 8 - can I wear while bowling ? When I release the ball sometimes it provokes a triggering- very painful !
    Thank you, Steve
