Question 4

i have had trigger finger twice & i think i have it again  in my little finger this time & i get a sharp pain in my forearm is it connected?

Accepted Answer

Let me explain: It is not a common place for it but could happen, the treatment to try to un-loud that area from any pressure on it  from work or other activities, you know there are some splints you could use these days fro that.
If did not help injection of steroid will be helpful to treat that problem.
If did not help you need surgery.

Question 7

is there a connection between trigger finger(s) and raynaud's condition?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Trigger finger is a problem with finger tendons and how they work to move a finger. Raynaud's phenomenon is a problem with spasm of arteries in the fingers, blocking blood flow. They are not directly related, but people with raynaud's syndrome can have connective tissue disorders, so may also have trigger finger. Overuse injuries, such as in certain jobs, can cause trigger finger and/or raynaud's.

Question 8

what is trigger finger?

Accepted Answer

Finger catches : If the flexor tendons that bend a finger get caught while gliding through the a1 pulley in the palm, then you have a trigger finger or thumb.  It can often be resolved by cortisone injection to the area but sometimes needs minor surgery through a half inch incision to release the a1 pulley.

Question 9

how do you treat "trigger finger" ?

Accepted Answer

Shots or surgery: You need to be evaluated. We can use steroid shots, therapy or even surgery. It will depend on your problem. 
The injection and the surgery are simple procedures.

Question 10

what can i do about trigger fingers?

Accepted Answer

Cortisone injection: Trigger finger represents inflammation of the tendon within its sheath. Pain and "locking" of the finger are common symptoms. While splinting is occasionally beneficial, cortisone injections can cure the problem outright approximately 60% of the time. Surgical intervention may be needed in cases of failed injections.
