Just about all drs want to do surgery . After researching for a procedure that doesn’t cut for a problem on my feet related to this, I found a dr in Jacksonville that does radiation. He told me if you can catch it early enough , radiation can be done on the had for trigger finger also. This way you won’t need surgery. I can’t say enough for the Ackerman cancer center. They did my feet with absolutely no side effects and will be doing my hand next!

Dr. Cynthia Harding is a Orthopedic Hand Surgeon in Lady Lake. Treated my husband's hand that 2 other doctors said there was nothing they could do. The results were wonderful. No more pain

I went to an orthopedic surgeon and he told me he could give me a shot which will hurt like hell or I could try a brace from Amazon which I wear every night which keeps my thumb in place. It was only $15 and it has worked like a charm!

I went to the same practice and I had Dr. Gloria A. Chin. She's done surgery on both of my hands and was just awesome.

Default Trigger Finger

When we first moved here and were selecting doctors, I went for an initial visit with the doctor I still have, and after all the usual questions, he asked if there was anything else going on so I mentioned that I had occasional trigger finger. With a rye smile on his face he said "Yeah, we usually don't worry about trigger finger unless it gets itchy". Then we talked about it in some detail. I liked his sense of humor.

Better option. Start taking P5P Vitamin B6 and Tumeric Curcumin. You can get both on Amazon. I had 3 trigger fingers and, trust me, the cortisone shot is BRUTAL. I have been taking the above for 2 years and no more trigger fingers.

I have had trigger finger on both hands ... different fingers and different parts of the hand. I have probably had 25 shots of cortisone over the years. I tolerate psi better than some but the shots are months apart... and the relief is long lasting!

I would recommend Dr. Fernando Sara. I have had surgery for trigger finger on five fingers. He is wonderful

I didn't do a white glove test, but the place is crammed full of decorative knickknacks and I did wonder how it would be possible to keep everything dusted and clean.

For anyone who's had both, how does the pain of a cortisone shot in your hand compare to one in your heel (for plantar fasciitis). The heel ain't no picnic, either.

I will comment on the finger and heel shot. The finger was nothing compared to the excruciating pain of a cortisone shot in the heel. I really thought I was going to pass out.

Ive got it in one finger sometimes when I sleep. If you rub it down really good, it will pop loose. It is the tendon sheath that gets inflamed so when you massage it, the sheath lets the tendon loose. Kind of a weird feeling, right?

I've used Dr. Cook several times for that, on 441 behind Villages Hospital.
