The last time I had trigger finger it was in the middle joint of the middle finger on my right hand, and I also had the accompanying node in the palm of my hand which was extremely painful. So not only did I have the nauseating triggering from the finger, I also had extreme pain from the node. I called Dr. Harding and could not get an appointment for three months. Then I was recommended to an Indian Doctor who had just started practicing here in TV, his main office is in Lake Mary. I got an immediate appointment, I did not have to wait, he had an Xray machine in the room, took Xrays and explained in detail what the problem was and suggested a shot in the joint. I was dreading the shot because the last one I had was just awful, he did an excellent job and I hardly felt it. I did need to go back for another shot about a month later, but after that I did the hand exercises he recommended and have had no trouble since. He is Dr. Vikram P. Mehta M.D., FACS. Phone 407-3334548. As I said above, his clinic is in Lake Mary, but he has a small office building off 441N just before you get to Rte 42. I highly recommend him.

I saw Dr. Harding about four years ago. At the time, her office was double booking patients, which I didn't appreciate, but she herself is pleasant and capable.
She recommended surgery but the wait was so long that the problem resolved itself in the meantime. This was after several months of putting up with it. I still have a nodule at the base of my thumb but it's no longer painful or triggering. Good luck! |

Cynthia Harding gave me a (very painful) shot in my trigger finger about 4 years ago and I never had any issues after that. She is fantastic BUT very difficult to gat an appointment being the best out there.

Trigger Finger
I can't give you a doctor. But I had trigger finger approx 15 years ago up north. My ortho doctor gave me a cortisone shot in the finger that did the trick. Never experienced it again.

Went to Dr. Hardings office in the past, if you like being treated like cattle--its the place for you, as far as Dr. Mehta--he was giving me cortisone shots for a torn rotator cuff--total miss diagnosis
Harding's office doesn't have an in house x-ray machine try Dr. feiner--pleasant drive and swift office staff |
