      What would you suggest for trigger thumbs? It’s been frustrating to splint (because of the limited choices) and the steroid injections offered moderate and very temporary relief. Getting a referral for a hand surgeon from rheumatologist.

    I am an older gentleman soon to turn 83, whose trigger middle finger of the left hand started suddenly, with no apparent cause, 2 weeks ago. This morning I saw a hand specialist who recommended minimally invasive surgery (ultrasound-guided trigger finger release).
    I have great confidence in my doc, and I am willing to undergo surgery if absolutely necessary, but whatever the ailment (and I've had many over the decades) I always try to see if there are non-surgical alternatives to try before getting cut. Browsing the internet I ran across a few of Michelle's exercises, tried them out, and plan to try them for a few weeks before deciding whether or not to have surgery.
    Thank you so much, Michelle; keep up your excellent work and presentations.
    Note: I am a psychologist, not an M.D., so I recommend that readers of my comments consult their doctor or health care provider to identify their particular medical issues and appropriate treatment(s).

    Thank you so much. The exercise tips 3-5 were extremely helpful for my trigger thumb. I had elbow replacement in January 2021 and for maintenance went to a chiropractor in my new location for scar tissue reduction treatment after moving out of state. Sadly in the process the chiropractor activated thumb irritation causing my thumb to trigger. I had left the state and suffering for 3 months as I was unable to follow up with the chiropractor or my original hand care providers. I did manage a break when I was able to return to my original occupational therapist during a quick visit back to my original location where I had the surgery. (Sadly I had moved out of state and was unable to follow up on the problem with my original physician and therapist who are awesome hand specialists). Your exercise tips 3-5 relieved the pain immediately. I am so very thankful to you for providing these exercises online. Thank you again for your very clear and professional presentation on these exercise tips.

    When I worked part time in the packing dept of a warehouse while in college I developed trigger finger. What worked for me was immobilizing my fingers at the knuckle after I got home from work and while I slept. It took a while but I eventually got to the point where my finger wouldn't catch. The other thing that helped a lot was simply keep my joints warm. Either resting my hands in warm water or, when I was at work, running warm water them in the sink.

    I foolwrd your taping video first and now this one. I can feel relief already. I was told I have trigger finger and Dupytren's contracture on the same finger. I think I have somewhat of a mild case but still a bit painful especially after gripping the steering wheel or my landscape tools. Just the taping alone comforted my hand without locking my finger. Thecsurgeon had given me the figure 8 splint which is such a simple, ingenious design however it locks my finger up in a straight position. A relaxed position as been more beneficial. I'm looking forward to seeing how the excercises help. Thank you for all your information and for explaing everything so well. You are helping so many people.

    Thank you so much. In the absence of a brace your video gave me the idea to cut the fingers out of an old glove and place a ball in my palm to prevent me from making a fist and triggering my ring finger. I have a 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy and teaching him to walk has become a triggering nightmare! This way I can firmly hold the leash without triggering my fingers.
