Trigger Finger

Awoken at 3 this morning with an excruciating pain on my right hand. Must have slept on hand. This morning upon wakening, still the nagging pain. Spent the morning massaging. Finally found the spot, on the palm, mound of the middle finger. This is the beginning of arthritis?Argh.......Then, A dear friend assured me, it's not. It's worst. TriggerFinger.

SAHM:
It's the middle finger that is still radiating pain. Hmm....
Suddenly realised that everything I do, the middle finger is involved.

if the pain persists, you may have to go for surgery, called release of trigger finger. can be done under local anaesthesia in the morning & be home by afternoon.

i had mine done (trigger thumb) 20 years ago & was "rewarded" with 2 weeks MC!! went on holiday with the girlfriend - now wife. that's the perk of being in govt service.

Doc:
I hope I really don't have to be operated on. Meanwhile, I'm following the oldwives' tale way. Massaging with the chinese oil. The pain is so far, bearable. The finger is weak though.
