Trigger finger

Make an appointment now. It'll either resolve itself in the meantime (and someone will benefit from your cancellation) or it won't and they can give you the steroid injection - possibly there and then.

<p style="text-align: left;">Ah, I see. I was about to pull up with an armchair and popcorn thinking you'd been on too many driven grouse shoots. I've had this, if it started a couple of weeks ago and isn't improving  I'd see a GP now. I didn't and did the blokey thing; it took months to sort itself out.</p>

What is all that gubbins appearing at the beginning and end of posts??

MIL had surgery on her two 'trigger fingers' - at different times.

I’ve had a Depuytren’s diagnosis this year. It starts with nodules in the palm and I may or may not get the contraction. It is painful.

See your GP as soon as you’ve ruled out ordinary overuse or trauma, maybe another couple of weeks maximum.  Trigger seems to have more options than mine and you can get on with it. If it’s anything else, best to know sooner.

I've had right arm/hand problems for a long time now, including trigger finger, golfers elbow, tennis elbow, fingers/hand/arm going numb/tingly, etc.

Pretty sure it basically issues with my forearm muscles, or the fascia over them. But also got some trigger point issues in my pec.

Beofre going to a doctor try going to a good massage therapist to see if they can locate trigger points that are sore, or other problems. Sometimes they are remote from the pain site and cause several more closer to the pain site.

Mine used a Gua mssage blade on me to good effect, and the trigger finger and numbness goes away when all the muscles are in decent shape.
