I had trigger finger over 10 years ago. Painful. Got a cortisone shot. Also painful, but it worked. It was my one and only cortisone shot and at the time I was lifting waits. I could feel the steroids in my body and for weeks following the shot, I was able to press notably more weight so i suspect I got a strong shot. But it has been over 10 years since the shot and trigger finger. So for those who say it shouldn't work I say, it could work and it was less invasive and expensive than surgery.

Yes I also had trigger finger. I opted not to have the surgery and it went away on its own. And then I got another finger. I am waiting for this want to go away also. Not in any pain.

Default Hand Doctor

Dr Vikram P. Mehta great hand doctor, he has to take a cyst out of my wrist I have a small tattoo there and he successfully removed and the scar is so small you can't see it and it did not alter my tattoo in script letters.

Now he watches the changes in my hand arthritis and other issues.

I had surgery on my left hand and it worked well. It started on my right hand and was getting pretty bad. Several months ago I started on testosterone replacement therapy and that somehow fixed it!?? No clue as to why.

Cannot say enough about Dr. Mahmood at the Orthopedic Institute on 16th St. In Ocala. Fantastic staff. Only 30 minutes to their office (20 if no traffic). Surgeries are done at W. Marion Hospital Center. The best facility in the region (we never will have Surgeries at The Villages Hospital Center or Leesburg)

Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy might be a better solution. Dr. Gilliland gives free consultation and free first session. He has been very effective for me

Half of all trigger fingers resolve spontaneously (without treatment within months.

Talking Another vote for Dr Harding!

A number of years ago I took a fall and turned my hand into a pound or so of ground meat in a nanosecond. Some years prior to that I had had a trigger finger repaired up north (long finger) which was wrecked in the fall. Received superb emergency care at at TV Regional Hospital that roughly straightened out my broken fingers, fixing dislocation and putting tendons back where they belonged—in other words a real mess. ER would not discharge me until they had an appointment with Dr Harding in place for the following day.

Simply put, Dr Harding gave me my hand back! It did take more than one surgery, including a redo of the trigger finger procedure. Many physicians prolong the number of procedures because Medicare generally won’t pay for more than one on the same day. Not Dr Harding, who did as much as she could with each visit to the OR. Let’s just say that I had done a ‘good job’ on myself, followed by Dr Harding doing an extraordinary job fixing my ‘good job’….

And besides being an exceptional hand surgeon, she is a lovely, caring and compassionate human being. And her office is conveniently located in Lady Lake near Home Depot. Unless an emergency, you might have to wait for an appointment—but she is worth the wait! 352-751-0981.

I’ve been going to acupuncture once a week for a couple of years mostly it’s for keeping up my all around well being . Im athletic and my life was very physical so at 82 your going to have some parts that don’t work as well , acupuncture helps a great deal, but before I started I had developed a trigger finger and I was a month away from doctor appointment after second acupuncture visit it was gone , never to come back , I get a full body acupuncture not a targeted part

I've seen her 4 - 5 times for different hand problems. She and her assistant know what they are doing. Fixed my problems with grip and severe pain.
