I had it this past year and finally had to have surgery to cut one of the bands that holds the tendon in place. I had it done in Orlando. Had bandages on my right hand for 3-4 days and then it was ok to use my hand again. Stitches were out 6 days later. Everything is fine now. I went to Dr. Patrick Emerson of the Jewett Clinic but there are many good hand specialists in the Orlando area.
ps I had gone to Dr. Harding first and got the most painful shot I have EVER had. It did not help. Her office was not clean and she has her dogs in the office. I would not go there again. When I went to Orlando they did try the cortisone shot twice. The pain getting the same shot from there was minimal and was NOTHING like the pain I had from Dr. Harding.
