Westender Neutral Newbie July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 Doctor say I got trigger finger.(something like when you close finger and try to open, it kind'a lock up and is painfull to open) Doctor say need injection to poke right into the joint WHICH might relive it temporary for a few months, if it doesn't work, will have to operate. Anyone one got this problem and got it fix without poking and cutting around? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westender Neutral Newbie July 20, 2009 Author Share July 20, 2009 Tried tcm yesterday, almost fainted from the pain, really never give chance, don't dare to go back there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 does it last for more than a week, sometime could be due to infection. it could be due to things that u should not eat to prevent it from coming back. I used to have two fingers which was painful in the morning, but it goes away after a week, just watch your diet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 To be frank, it's better if you opt for the surgery. You can request for anesthesia if you are afraid of the pain. One time settle it. Dun drag until it gets infected inside, now that will hurt even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westender Neutral Newbie July 20, 2009 Author Share July 20, 2009 It's been that painfull for about 3 weeks now, worse in the morning usually. Apointment is 1 month away at sgh sigh!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 Call again and tell the nurse that you are in a lot of pain, see whether she can squeeze you into some earlier slot, bs and say you cannot sleep cos of the pain. You never say, they never know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 For those whose parents have similar joint or arthritis problem, pls dun waste your money and see TCM, I can safely tell you it's useless. Pls go look for specialist. If pain until have problem walking/moving, most likely it's infection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone one got this problem and got it fix without poking and cutting around? My was the second last finger. I lived with it for 6 months against advice from many pple. Most said must go for operation and abstain from beans and peanuts and sugar and this and that. Finally, a friend brought me to see a shop somewhere in havelock road to has a finger massage and bought oilment for massage. Diligently massaged my finger daily for about a month and the bending finger cured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruzmidah 2nd Gear July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 Trigger finger injection is initially painful but after the solution goes into the hand... almost instant relief (ie a few hrs later) At times, after the 1st injection, there is no more recurrence. (but not all the time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey02 Clutched July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 This problem of trigger finger runs through my family. Simplest solution is to go for the steriod injection at your orthopedic specialist. Operation isn't a 100% cure. My aunt who has had 6 operations on her trigger fingers many years back is starting to suffer from the same problem again. You'll have to do constant "finger exercises" frequently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scenic98 Clutched July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 can it also because of gout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westender Neutral Newbie July 20, 2009 Author Share July 20, 2009 Don't think it's gout. Seems that I'll have to let the specialist take a look 1st before I/he decides what to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_blade Turbocharged July 20, 2009 Share July 20, 2009 Regarding TCM...it is not always good. Recently I had a very bad stiff neck..went to TCM for treatment...but it was still painful (slightly better than before)..so I went to hospital for a 2n opinion. Had an X-ray and CT scan, they found some fine cracks the bone. They concluded that it could be due to TCM treatment. They gave me a job, some pain relieve and muscle relaxing medicine and i was ok almost immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
