You have provided just what I needed - in a way that I can understand and repeat all of your suggested treatments at home. I have a trigger finger on my right hand ring finger. It causes pain at the MIP which extends down the back of my hand.I have been following your suggestions and feel great improvement. Thank you for your great teaching presence, clear voice, well prepared lesson plan as well as providing realistic details on a timeline for healing. As we get older, age can do a lot of damage to our hands. Arthritis is a terrible burden and the accompanying aches and pains are hard to bear on a daily basis. I look forward to future sessions with your postings, leading to increased flexibility and strength. Thank you.

I am an older gentleman soon to turn 83, whose trigger middle finger of the left hand started suddenly, with no apparent cause, 2 weeks ago. This morning I saw a hand specialist who recommended minimally invasive surgery (ultrasound-guided trigger finger release). I have great confidence in my doc, and I am willing to undergo surgery if absolutely necessary, but whatever the ailment (and I've had many over the decades) I always try to see if there are non-surgical alternatives to try before getting cut. Browsing the internet I ran across a few of Michelle's exercises, tried them out, and plan to try them for a few weeks before deciding whether or not to have surgery. Thank you so much, Michelle; keep up your excellent work and presentations. Note: I am a psychologist, not an M.D., so I recommend that readers of my comments consult their doctor or health care provider to identify their particular medical issues and appropriate treatment(s).

When I worked part time in the packing dept of a warehouse while in college I developed trigger finger. What worked for me was immobilizing my fingers at the knuckle after I got home from work and while I slept. It took a while but I eventually got to the point where my finger wouldn't catch. The other thing that helped a lot was simply keep my joints warm. Either resting my hands in warm water or, when I was at work, running warm water them in the sink.

Hi ! Thanks for the video. I really learnt a couple of new things. I noticed that the pencil exercise causes my finger to still lock. I tried it so many ways. Ironically if it is just to exercise the finger then the splint actually suffices for limited movement. My finger gets really really stiff in the morning but it eases off during the day mostly and comes back when I want to rest. Just started the splint a day ago.

Thank you so much. The exercise tips 3-5 were extremely helpful for my trigger thumb. I had elbow replacement in January 2021 and for maintenance went to a chiropractor in my new location for scar tissue reduction treatment after moving out of state. Sadly in the process the chiropractor activated thumb irritation causing my thumb to trigger. I had left the state and suffering for 3 months as I was unable to follow up with the chiropractor or my original hand care providers. I did manage a break when I was able to return to my original occupational therapist during a quick visit back to my original location where I had the surgery. (Sadly I had moved out of state and was unable to follow up on the problem with my original physician and therapist who are awesome hand specialists). Your exercise tips 3-5 relieved the pain immediately. I am so very thankful to you for providing these exercises online. Thank you again for your very clear and professional presentation on these exercise tips.

I think I have somewhat of a mild case but still a bit painful especially after gripping the steering wheel or my landscape tools. Just the taping alone comforted my hand without locking my finger. Thecsurgeon had given me the figure 8 splint which is such a simple, ingenious design however it locks my finger up in a straight position. A relaxed position as been more beneficial. I'm looking forward to seeing how the excercises help. Thank you for all your information and for explaing everything so well. You are helping so many people.

Thanks, that has been very informative. I bought some Oval Eight splints on Amazon. First time I mistakenly thought my finger was larger than it was, so they were all too large. Second time I got a set with far more variety, and started wearing a 10. That worked, including getting me through a night's sleep, but when I used my had it tended to fall off now and then. And the last time it came off, I lost it. So I went back to the second set and put on a 9. That is working, and doesn't seem as prone to falling off. Which brings me to the only reason I have anything to say. I went back to Amazon to get some backups, which is to say more size 9. Each of the sets, which had 8 and 11 each, cost $10. A single size 9? $13! A pack of five? $36!. Cheaper to buy assortments. I found a set for $5 that includes some bits of padding to adjust the fit. Yes, I understand the economics of inventory, sales and shipping a specialized item mean they won't ever be really cheap, but I found the situation amusing none the less. Anyway, thanks again.

Thank you for this video. I’ve had trigger finger for a couple years now, have had one cortisone shot, and was weighing the option of another shot, as the pain and locking has come back and is getting worse. I’ve watched all the traditional exercise videos and they never seemed to do anything. Splints and tape kept the finger from flexing to the point it gets stuck, but always felt the pain was worse when I removed the splint/tape. Massaging the pulley area never seemed to help. So when I tried t your #3 exercise, the isometric finger flexi on, I discovered something. I felt a sharp pain in my middle knuckle, and a crackling sound. My issue seems to stem from an old accident that jammed my middle finger , rather than true trigger finger. (The doctor that I saw originally, that gave me the shot, didn’t even really examine my hand just listened to my symptoms, and said yeah, trigger finger. We’ll give you a cortisone shot.) Now I’m going to go see someone else, thank you for showing different exercises, letting me discover something different.

Outstanding work. Thank you. I'm curious if you have an idea what percentage of trigger fingers can actually be rehabilitated without the surgery. I have people telling me that it's "pointless" to try and stretch or exercise a trigger finger back to health, but to go ahead and get the sheath cut to move alone recovery. Curious what your professional experience is with this discussion?

It is NOT pointless! I bet those people that said that haven't read the research. Trigger finger reseach shows that 52% (or more in some studies) can be healed conservatively. Trigger thumb is even better.👍

Very helpful video -- much thanx. Have found simple elastic finger wrap very helpful to minimize flexion of trigger ring finger, & promote healing of affected joint.

Love all these! Would a trigger finger have anything to do with a ganglion cyst suddenly appearing? Would these exercises also help with the cyst?
