Anybody have experience with surgery to
correct trigger finger (tenosynovitis)? I
would appreciate it if you could post an
account (as detailed as possible) of your
surgery and post-op experience at:

and I would appreciate some accounts of it
to share.

Trigger Finger Or Thumb Posted: 08-28-07 20:03pm
I had that surgery about five years ago.
It is done as an out patient. The surgery
itself only takes about ten minutes, but
there is more prep work done before. They
put a stocking type spandex thing on your
arm. They don't put you to sleep. They
use a local anesthesia. Before you know
it, it's over, and you go home. It isn't
the most pleasant thing I've ever had
done, but it's bearable. Take care.'

Trigger Finger/RA Remedy Posted: 05-16-08 12:57pm
Dear Friends,
I am 57 yrs old and was suffering from
Trigger Thumb and RA for a year. As it was
frightening at first and was afraid it may
get locked permanently, I rushed to the
hospital. 2 months treatment on hot wax,
exercise and ultrasonic therapy. The pain
dissapeared and thumb back to normal.
After 4 months I had it on the other
thumb. This time I did not go to hospital
but did the following:- 1. Take a good
vitamin pill everyday ( I am taking
Pharmaton).
2. Take a combination pill containing
calcium, magnesium and zinc morning and
evening.
3. Take vitamin B complex - one a day.
4. Take fish oil capsules one morning, one
night. ( I am taking Seven-sea Forte)
5. Take Yograj Guggulu ayurvedic 250 gms
with honey- 2 pills morning and 2 evening)
( check on website where to buy)
6. Eat variety of fruits/vegetables
cooked/raw and go slow on red meat.
7. Massage your thumb with a good
ayurvedic massage oil ( I use MahaNarayan
oil from India)
8. Do Tai Chi exercises ( just buy a book
and follow the exercises)
9. Detox every 4 months ( I use Juvanex)
9. Don't think too much about the pain and
tell yourself the pain will go away and
you have full control over it. Have
confidence in yourself.
Though the pain is there, it is managable
and I can button my shirt and press the
remote control or mobile phone.Keep your
muscles moving all the time except when
asleep.Seeing a doctor and going for
surgery should be the last resort. Best
