Excellent presentation. This augments the information my doctor gave me and will help me treat my trigger fingers more effectively. Thank you.

This is excellent because most other videos on this subject do not explain how the fingers work with tendons and the forearm muscles, or show a working model of the tendon against the pulley, this is much better so people can understand how it works and what the problem is.

Great video Dr. Furlan. I've been struggling with this very issue for a few months, now. A friend of mine made a good suggestion and he said, since the pain is in the ring finger, I may need to pay more attention to my marriage!

Thank you. I have trigger finger and also thyroid problem, had first steroid injection 4 months ago. I will try your suggestions.

Thank you doctor. 🙏

Good information madam for trigger finger its usual we are following splinting & ice is a conservative method along with some exercises like proximal tendon strengthening and as if massage may have low evidence but its better option prior to go for pricks & surgeries.. thanks for responding my request ..

hello im 26 yrs old I have trigger finger in my ring fingers 1only what medicines take me to heal the trigger finger ??? plz plz help and answer my questions to u???

I have been a T1diabetic for almost 40 years. I’ve had trigger finger on all ten fingers (not all at the same time) I’ve also had surgery on every single one of them. The surgery gave permanent relief. I have a lot of connective tissue problems from diabetes. Two years ago I started eating low carb and all my connective tissue issues have greatly improved

Thank you, Doctor. That was very interesting and helpful.

Being an older person and working hard on a house in bad condition, I ended up with eight trigger fingers. Surgery was quite successful. Dr. Furlan was right to mention a maximum of three injections; some doctors say two. I saw a woman who had a huge problem, a finger that stuck up, because of excessive injections.

Thank you , Doctor yeti interesting about that 👍

Hi, Dr. Furlan, Good video short and specific. I had this problem sometimes back and I was given the steroid injection. The condition reduced gradually and nowadays I get it occasionally with very low impact. I decided not to go for any medications or injections but to massage and do some stretches . Will I be managed to control it this way. I am not a Diabetic. Thank you again for the information. Really appreciate it.

I have this on my ring finger. The pulley in the middle of the palm on that hand is puckered and the finger cannot straighten fully. It began to appear about 10yrs ago (I am now 65yo) I did hard manual work then and needed strong hands to grab things. I can no longer use that finger for strength work without it hurting as I tighten my grip on something. But it is no longer sore otherwise. I did the exercises to lengthen the tendon but the pulley is permanently damaged. However, now that finger is thin while the other fingers on that hand are still strongly muscled because I still do a lot of manual work requiring hand strength. But no one would notice if I don't tell them. We don't think about muscles in our fingers but it is obvious in my fingers that one finger does not work or is weak.

used to think it was cute in my pinkie finger until it started to hurt getting it out lol. had a cortisone shot there and man it hurt as they all do

Once I had a patient with this problem, it started quite recently, like a couple of weeks before. It took 2 minutes to treat it manually, and it did not come back. Osteopathy and Ortho-Bionomy can resolve many of such issues.

This video is informative. The materials are well organized and presented - simple and helpful like many other videos that you made. Thank you!

Thank you so much for all the the outstanding videos you make, I love watching them

Very interesting video; well structured and well explained. I would; however, like to remind Dr Furlan that 911 is an emergency number in the US (and Canada?) and not in the rest of the world. Your video can be viewed outside the USA as weell. The international emergency number from mobile phones is 112. If you do not wish to give the international number which will be diverted to emergency dispatchers everywhere in the world, then at least mention it is a US number, only and suggest that people outside the USA find out the relevant number in their country.

I put up with this for a long time. Shots and splints didn’t work. The outpatient surgical repair was a piece of cake and worked perfectly

I was suggested to keep my hands inside hot water but you said to be kept on ice. I need to know?

OMG, this just happened to me about 2 months ago. But my finger bent backwards, not into my. I started screaming because i didn't know what was happening, my daughter came running and calmed me down. I thank God for her, she looked it up online, and after icing and massage it released. I pray that never happens again, it was so scary.

Anyone have trouble when driving - changing gear? Really painful as I change gear. I've developed a way of using the edge of my hand instead which helps a bit. Have had trigger finger for around 6 weeks now and massage isn't working. After your video I'll try a splint tonight and a glove! 🙃

Hi I just got a surgery it’s worst

I have middle finger for long time .i have done already 2 injections and unfortunatly the problem continue. I am afraid to do surjery. what can i do?? Is it good that i will be all the time with splint?

Hello doctor,u have explained things clearly as for the case of my trigger thumb ,wow,it really hurts alot.... I wrapped it with a gauze bandage to stop the popping sound everytime i move my thumb ,and it works.... Hope to have the oval eight brace for my trigger thumb...

Thank you. Very useful video explaining the condition. Using a computer mouse doesn't help the finger either !

I am a very long time a Type I Diabetic, n was suffering from not one but both palms, 3 fingers each palm. After ibuprofen n other medicines no improvements. My LDL cholesterol and triglycerides were abnormal, once Statin was started in 3 days Trigger Fingers nullified 🙂🙂 . Still continuing with statins No Trigger Fingers. According to Me it's LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides, Main Culprits of Trigger Fingers n also Heart Attack stroke n many more.

I HAD a trigger finger. After seeing a hand doctor I was told I would need surgery. I started wearing a Shungite bracelet. ( I bought off shop lc) After a few weeks my finger was fine and has not gone back to the trigger condition. NO SURGERY needed.

After 3 steroid injections, then took daily 100 mg capsules of hyaluronic acid plus massaging, Easiest" to "unlock" frozen finger is NOT to puil curled finger open but instead rub its back downward (away from nail) in relaxed and painless motion. Instead of splint, my doc showed how to tape trigger finger to its buddy finger..

Doctor I don't have diabetes, BP or thyroid but still am suffering from trigger finger of my right hand ring finger. Hence am unable to do any exercise because I cannot bend this ring finger at all. Kindly suggest.

I have accidentally cut my ring & middle fingers at mp joint. Now it's 3 months left. Still my fingers are locked. Is it trigger finger or anything else??

I have that problem. However, my doctor isn't doing anything about it. I said I wanted cortisone option, but crickets. Two small ganglion cysts were found too. This problem started in May of 2022.

I had trigger finger for the past one month Rand left ring finger.I have a habit of placing my both hand under the head during sleeping in supine position through out night. May be it happened due to this or Ihave diabetes pre for the past five years with no medicines due to allergy of almost medicines only diet plan is doing every day. Some times it also a cause for my trigger finger. Dr your presentation regarding hand and forearm is good.Can you give any home remedy or simple excercises to escape from this.I am aged62 Male more pain in hand ring finger.I am using a finger splint during night only.Return your message

Surgery and shots are the last thing you want to be doing to your hand. I've found exercising and stretching the tendon to be much more effective. Found nothing in this video useful or helpful.

I have trigger finger in my index finger. It seems as if I have arthritis in the knuckle. Is it possible that the tendon doesn't slide easily because of the arthritis?

Hello Dr. Andrea, you have a very nice videoside manner :) anyway wondering if you can explain further the link between blood sugar and trigger finger, carpel, and other joint conditions? I have always had overactive jobs, hobbies, etc so i attributed the trigger/carpel to that however i have noticed that if i eat sugar it it gets much worse. tu

Hi, i had this problem, and administered a beestinger within the central part of the pain. One sting a week will do it perfectly. Of course, remove the beestinger with your finger nail sliding across the skin surface where the stinger is stuck, but after 5 minutes.

I watched the videos and tried a few exercises but I admit I did not do them extensively. I went to a doctor who did the steroid shot. Great relief the next day but a month later it has returned. I will see him again next month but I am afraid he will recommend cutting the sheath.

Very timely Dr. Furlan. Thank you so much. Having this hand issue to address. Will follow your advise. God bless you.

Thanks doctor

Hi doctor, can typing too much on keyboard cause tirgger finger? Thank you

I have 5 triggered fingers - 3 in left, 2 in right. I used masking tape instead of splint 😅

My father, uncle and cousin had this on their ring finger. I have three lumps on my little finger, one just under the lowest joint of the finger and the other two on my palm. I have no pain, no loss of movement.

Thanks for sharing. Very sad when seeing for example the results of thyroid problem not being treated. I am not sure that altogether restricting range of motion more and more all the time would help.

Dr.Furlan what happend on your trigger finger?

Good information! I had a thumb and middle finger affected some months back. After researching, I decided to make a splint for my thumb. I had scraps of silver from years ago and made a stylish coil that I wore almost constantly. Oddly enough, my middle finger stopped "catching" too.

I've already had trigger realease done on thumb and ring finder. What a relief that was. My issue was because I have RA

I enjoyed watching this video which very helpful clinically. Keep it up by uploading more videos.🇮🇳🎖️🎖️🎖️✌️💞

Hi i think i have this but i dont know what to do and i dont want to to have surgery and get shots and stuff what should i do

Thankyou so much, I had a cortisone injection for mine and it cured it, but it was very painful

Very well done. I will begin using your suggestions today, thank you so much

How come the finger nodule inside trigger finger doesn't heels up on its own??

I hyper extended my thumb felt like it's broken the thumb bent back to my fore arm and when I saw the Dr. I was told I have trigger thumb but I feel that is not the right diagnoses. It has been since July 2nd 2021 and still feels like when it happened I think it requires a corrective surgery it's ruff being limited use of the hand hard to open containers and things

I'm curious how effective the surgery is compared to injections? I have had injections for a couple of fingers but it feels like it made it worse. And I've got severe trigger finger in all my fingers except my thumbs. Although side note... a couple years ago my left thumb started to "catch" and it got so painful that I actually went to the urgent care and they did X-rays and it showed that when I "extended" it, not bend it, completely it actually dislocated the top or end bone from the next bone in line. It actually pulled it down along side of the next bone instead of all the bones being in line with each other. And everyone was confused and of course recommend a hand specialist. I went and they said it was a rare extreme form of trigger finger and tried injections and they wanted to do surgery but I've had so many surgeries already in my life for other crap that I just kept it braced for a couple months and then it stopped dislocating?!?! They don't understand how but again that's the story of my life really lol lots of health issues and if there are anything rare that can happen you can pretty much check "yes" but now I'm having all of my fingers on both hands locking and popping and not in the fun dance way either lol but I've tried some injections and it feels like it made it worse once the numbing went away. I do have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis and Raynauds syndrome and connective tissue disorder among lots of other crap. And I see a rheumatologist regularly and they want to do more injections but I'm thinking about just having them do surgery on all of them but not sure yet....

Hi Dr namaste me form beutiful himalayan kingdom Nepal . I treated many trigger fingers patient in my physiotherapy clinic So I recommended PHYSICAL THERPY consult before INGECTION AND surgery.what is yours opinion about physiotherapy treatement in this case thank you Dr for informative video .

Una explicación inmejorable. Muchas gracias doctora!

Thanks so much! So informative! Top Lady!

Lordy, I hope this will ;help. Like another writer, I too tape the bad finger to it's neighbor at night. Asts least it doesn't get into a fully retracted sstate by the morning. It hurts badly to straighten it in the morning. Even worse you know you have to do it and know how much it will hurt.

Thanks Dr you gave me great information that I will use My middle finger has the bump now I will buy the product for it And I know I will be healed I will be so careful with my hands forever I have been to a doctor but he didn't give me the wonderful information you did God bless you have a blessed day

I play veterans cricket. I went to catch a cricket ball hit back at me really hard. I took the catch the but got trigger finger. It went away and then it came back again when I went to catch another cricket ball the following year. I cannot remember what I did but it just went away eventually. I don’t go catching cricket balls anymore. 🇦🇺👍🏏🍺

thank you Doc. very good info. I'm dealing w/ my middle trigger finger locking and pain. I'm an Accountant, i type alot using my fingers. I'm also diabetic. this video helps a lot. i tried massaging daily. the swelling has gone down but the pain still there each time I try to massage that hot spot. I'll buy the night splints and see if it works.

Please how do i get those equipment to help my trigger finger. I mean the cream and other materials, thanks.

Informative video as usual. Looking so cute 💓

Doctor Andrea- I broke my right middle finger at the knuckle about 40 years ago. I had it set, but it was never quite right afterwards. It did not bother me until this year and it is starting to "catch". Do you think that is the original damage surfacing or the beginning of trigger finger? I am right handed. What type of doctor to I look for in this case? Thank you ~ Diane

I have seen some experimental work in which Bromelain, Nattokinase or Streptokinase are used to chew up cytokines. Cytokines modulate the inflammation response of the body. The cytokines are protein peptides typically from 1k to 20k amu in size and can easily be cut by these proteases. I will warn that this is experimental so you should consult your physician before attempting this. However some of these enzymes may be classified as GRAS (generally recognized as safe) in varying amounts and for differing lengths of time. I have not examined their status in this regard. They might aggravate existing conditions such as stomach or esophageal ulcers so do your due diligence and speak with your physician before doing your own N=1 clinical studies. Lol

It is very painful. Those ligaments feel so tight :-( snd tender. But I did a splint one night and my finger was so painful the next two days!

I have tried physical therapy. works well..

Why Good,creatingde ,pinci!?

can I do the excercies for hand while I'm suffering from trigger finger? can I crochet which I'm doing throughout the day ?

QUESTION? ideveloped a trigger finger a few years ago after using a power tool for a extented time. Last December 2020 i was diagnosed with Bells Palsy, This past summer while walking on my new treadmill I have either developed Plantar Fasciitis or Tarsal Tunnel syn. My Question is are these related and what can i do in a natural patheic way to fix it.

I had trigger finger in my left thumb...it hurt like hell. The splints did not fit well and were uncomfortable to wear. So I took a 1 inch wide cloth band aid and wrapped it around my thumb between the knuckles, it was just stiff enough to keep me from bending my thumb and was comfortable to wear. I put on disposable gloves when in the kitchen or toilet to keep it dry and sanitary. After a few months I only wear the band aid at night as a preventative measure.

I have an index and middle trigger finger. 😩

Thank u Dr. I dealing with this for 2 weeks nor too bad but I take your advice.

Thanks a lot for such a great video. Dr my RH factor is 20 & MCHC is 355, Hemoglobin A1C is 6 and rest of the blood work is ok... Symptoms are stiffness in left hand fingers - middle, index and ring fingers....Iam 42yrs male. .please suggest.

I hate the injection. It feels like a Nail gun.

Thank you Dr. I have liked the information. I have a trigger finger which is the ring finger on my right hand. Its so painful mostly the palm. Can you help me and tell me which cream or tablets I can take so that it can ease the pain please. Thanks

Many years ago I had trigger finger in both hands,but for some reason my right trigger finger has gone back straight?

I have had a trigger finger treated this week. Had a painful injection twice so hoping this time it will work otherwise it’s surgery.

I had Trigger Finger on the 2 middle fingers of my left hand for about a year, then it went away.

thats not trigger finger, its the SHOCKER!!! lol

I’m so glad I’ve seen this, just starting to have a problem and have been forcing my finger to bend.

I had trigger finger in both thumbs. I changed the way I used my cell phone and scissors. It took a long time but they both healed.

Excellent explanation and illustrations. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Obrigada!

I have trigger finger, in both of my thumbs, right now. It's pure misery.

Valuable Information, Does it help in problems due to uric Acid?

Any advice for dupitrons ? Thanks for video.

Good information thanks

I made a splint out of a piece of Velcro just to stop it bending and it work after a couple of months it is getting better

Nice information thanks

Thanks Dr. I have trigger finger in my right and left ring fingers it’s very painful and I take ibuprofen 2x3daily, but no changes, I’m not diabetic, pls can you direct me to any Orthopedic Dr in Queens NYC. Thanks

Is there any research on the use of Photo Bio Modulation (PBM)? PBM is the use of Near infrared Light (850 nanometer) to reduce inflamztion, increase bloodfow, and stimulate the mitochondria to produce more ATP. This approach greatly reduced the pain and stiffeness affecting my trigger fingers.

Thanks for all your exercises i would like u show some exercise FOR wrist severe pain in the nerve

Please @Dr. Andrea Furlan , if my trigger finger already has a Callus , does the splint still work? Is that recommended ? I took a steroid shot and it never went only got a bit easier to bend the finger as I always type and it’s been on over a year (some times better but got worse since August 2023). My doctor who gave the steroid told me I didn’t need to massage the hand or even bother resting it after the steroid shot on Jan. 25th and I feel he was wrong as if I did massage it as I was thinking with anti inflammatory topical drugs, it might have aided healing. Please can you let me know your thoughts on this? Thanks for the video.

I have my best trigger finger on my Colt 45.

My son was 2 years old with two trigger fingers in each hand was given a splinter for one finger in one hand . Since he was not leaving it on also not seeing any improvement the doctor refer him to an orthopedic surgeon. He's now 14 years of age and his index finger on his right hand is half way open and is not able to fully stretch due to surgery suggested. Do you recommend a second surgery doctor ? Thank you 🙏

Love your advises Dr. furlan I’m doing most excersises you recommend for triger finger, osteopenia, and others . Do you have any suggestion for plantar fasciitis.?
