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.
@@pdx_fashionista I have a video with some very effective trigger thumb exercises here- ua-cam.com/video/6vjzXX7YUAs/v-deo.html.. Did you catch that one yet?
My thumb is triggering but you did not demo any of the exercises for it specifically like the other fingers. Tried to follow but thumbs are positioned a little differently.
@@rosemurray4108 I have a video here specifically for the thumb! ua-cam.com/video/6vjzXX7YUAs/v-deo.html

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).
So positive to feel that there's something I can do while I wait, inevitably, for a hand specialist appointment.
Great information and great presentation. Thanks, Michelle.
Thank you for your sincere encouragement and treatments. I'm trying all of the exercises.
I am so happy that you did this vid. It's healing the pain of my trigger finger.
Bless you
Thank you! I had a trigger thumb on my left hand that would trigger daily and a trigger middle finger on my right hand that would trigger only occasionally. Your videos helped me cure my trigger thumb completely and now I’ll follow your instructions for treating my finger. Your information given in videos has been so helpful.
Amazing! Keep us updated on occasion!
Omg thank God I've found y all. BC trigger finger and Carole tunnel is not comfy at all.
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.
Great video, thank you very much Michelle
Great advice. Im doing those exercises and it feel so good.
Muchas gracias Michelle por tu generosa ayuda. Bendiciones
Hallelujah! Thank you, thank you, thank you...excellent video!
You not only give the exerice but also explains why. That is super appreciated by me.
You are sweet! Some people do not like me talking so much or explaining lol!
Terrific video! You are an excellent presenter. I’m a retired hand therapist with trigger finger. I stumbled over your video and decided to watch, wondering if there was anything new in the world of TF treatment. I have now added the web space massage and the isometric exercise to my treatment routine. I can already tell a difference. Old dogs can learn new tricks!
Thank you! That means a lot! 🙌
she's not a presenter, she's an amazon product salesman.
Very Useful tips. Thank you Dear
This was a great video! Thankyou. I’ve developed a nasty trigger finger issue with the middle finger of my left hand, just like you show taped up in your video. It’s darn painful, so I really appreciate your instruction.

interlacing web spacing in between fingers and squeezing both hands tight, helped my middle finger locking and popping problem instantly go away.

Yes!!! 🙌 you are so welcome!
Thank you for the tips! Very helpful and most of these exercises really did help.
You're so welcome!
You are fantastic Michelle, thanks for a fruitful presentation . You explained all the exercises so well. My trigger thumb is already better.
Very helpful, thanks. My trigger is my thumb at the 2 joints . I adjusted your exercises to fit it
Thank you, I try the treatment tip 4 and 5.
Thank you this really helped me my middle finger was severely catching but now it is much better. TY
Your video showing exercises and taping will help me, since my trigger finger was overlooked by a Physician's Assistant paid for by my employer.
Great video Michelle Have a slight trigger on my little finger post fracture. Trying to work it out, your videos have been extremely helpful
hey any update, i just recently got trigger finger on my pinky on my right hand, starting exercises with it now.
I'm excited to try these exercises. I've had trigger finger for about a year now. So far, no pain but don't want it to get to that point. Will definitely let you know which of the exercises worked best for me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. It really helps me a lot . Right now im doing the #5 exercise. God bless
Thanks so glad I ran across your utube channel today I just left a doctor and you told me much more then he did I have the same problem as you have gonna get an ultrasound but you're exercises helped my hand feel better Have a blessed day
So glad you posted on UA-cam. I’ve had 2 cortisone shots in my right ring finger. The pain and trigger are coming back. I also notice that it’s a bit painful on the palm side under the finger. I’m going to try your exercises. I’ll also look for a hand surgeon in my HMO. However, I want to avoid surgery if at all possible.
I'd advise you to avoid surgery.
Thanks, I will start doing the exercises today¡
Fantastic video
Best hand heath channel on UA-cam. Possibly the warmest smile as well.😁
Possibly the best comment too 😉🙏
super thank you
Thank you! After splinting and following your exercises a few months ago, my trigger thumb was cured. I now have the same problem with my ring finger on the other hand and I'm sure by following your advice and exercises, this too will be cured 😊
Thanks. What you said was very hopeful. .
Excellent mam. Thank you mam
Thank you Michelle for a God Exercises explain by you Thank you Soo Much 👍
🎉Thank you ❤ I am definitely going to try 🎉
Tqvm Michelle. Its been 1 month I had problem wt my right hand ring finger, until i saw yr video. Very useful tips and advice.
Regards - Abah 🇲🇾
Thanks a lot; #3 exercise seems to be helping me already.
Thank you for useful video , treatment no# 5 is good for me 👍
I'm glad I found your videos. I just confirmed that what I have been experiencing is TF on the middle finger. My friend had a thumb TF and I remembered so started researching. She had surgery. I do not want to have surgery.
Thank you!! First video that isnt just talking about surgery. Off to buy a splint!
Good morning, thank you very much for this demonstration, am having this problem and was awaken by the pain then decided to search and find some solutions, then I made a click and go through with you and I liked the demo
Thanks again , I’ll let you know of my improvements very soon 🎉🎉
Thank you for this video! I got trigger finger recently this week, I think because of my work, but I have been looking for things to help. My first thought was a splint, so I am glad I'm on a good track.
What kind of Doctor is best?
I am so glad I watched your video!! This happened to me about two weeks ago on left hand naughty finger,it really hurts and I have been doing everything that you said not to do. Pulling it in every direction,opening and closing ,making fist.It completely locks up .Thank you, getting that splint today .❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. 🤩😍🥰
I found the 3rd exercise with the towel is the most effective exercise, Thank you so much it is so effective.
Thanks, it would also be helpful to hear what activities I need to stop doing.
so far the best vid on this -Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for helping me :)
Very helpful. I was desperate.
I just happened to find this video today. My ring finger is my trigger finger. I found your information to be very helpful, as I followed the exercises that were shown. I really like exercise that uses the ball inside the hand, as well as the pencil between the fingers. I have an appointment with a hand surgeon in a month, but for the moment, these exercises are helpful.
3 and 5 helpful thank you ❤
Thank you so much, very clear and informative where can o purchase the hand/finger splint?
All of them . . . YOU ~ ROCK ! ! 👍🤛😉
Interlacing web spaces and squeezing hands tight helped the pain go away in my middle finger ! Not trying to make a fist now… will wait some time and do suggested exercises for my trigger finger. Thank you!!!!!
Your God sent. Truly this is a miracle
Thanks for sharing ,Trying afew off your tips 😀
You’re welcome 😊! I have even more tips in my new trigger finger/thumb program- Unlocked: Fix your Trigger Finger or Trigger Thumb Troubles- virtualhandcare.com/fix-trigger-finger-and-trigger-thumb/
Thanks!
Appreciate it!
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.
Almost my exact situation. Do you happen to play an instrument?
I LOVE YOU!!!!i tried alot of stuff people said to do and they all failed till i found you!thank you soooo much! and its only been a little over a week.
Hi…What did you do that helps….
i wore a finger brace for a couple months and stretched my fingers.

Thank you! ..The last one was great actually
Glad you liked it!
Love all these! Would a trigger finger have anything to do with a ganglion cyst suddenly appearing? Would these exercises also help with the cyst?
Thanks Angel 👸
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.
Very helpful video, nice work thank you 😊
It is a nice video, thank you for sharing those five steps! I am wondering if I continue doing those exercise, should I avoid surgery?
Hi.. thanks so much for yor range of eexercise and detailed presentation. It's very important to know what os happening inside the hand to know if it,'s going right. Oi have 3 trigger fingers both middle finger and my right ring finger so I'm doing # 5 interlacing my fingers. Massage would be more effective but my hands get very tired.
Thanks Doctor!!❤❤
I used it for my thumb..and really I got relaxed!
Now daily I will do these exercises!!❤
Thanks again from India!!❤
Thank you so much, this video #3 and #5 helped me to cure my ring finger trigger finger in a minutes
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.
Love your knowledge nuggets. Question: any specific level of K.tape?
I interlaced my fingers and got immediate results. Thank you!❤
Wonderful!
Hi, gr8 help, love your video. I get nice relief sleeping w splint at night on trigger finger, middle. I wear the neoprene type finger sleeve. Very comfortable. Light, keeps swelling down and I wake up without vent finger ir pain
