    My Dad suffered from a terrible trigger finger thumb. Years ago his doctor gave him a shot which helped but the pain recently came back again. I showed him this video and he began doing a few of the exercises you recommended (the rubber band one, the tennis ball and the last tip you gave - which he liked the most) Anyway, it’s been about 3 weeks and his painful trigger finger is cured! He keeps raving about how you helped him so I just wanted to come and tell you!! 🤗

    I invented my own massage technique for this. Sit the tennis ball down on the table in front of you. Then put the affected hand, palm down, on top of the ball. Then put the other hand on top of the first hand as a weight to push down. Then roll the affected hand around on the ball as you find the tender knots causing the trigger finger, and massage them out. It's basically applying the tennis ball plantar fasciaitis technique to your hand instead of your foot.

    Thank you Dr. Mendel i was about to have my trigger finger surgery on Thursday, while waiting for the dday , i saw this and voila… the pain almost disssapeared immediately…i was so happy i cried. I will do this exercise everyday and maybe not push thru with my surgery anymore…THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    I cannot believe my primary care doctor told me there was nothing I could do for trigger finger except maybe a shot for pain when the pain got too severe! I thought there just must be something that can be done, so I began researching and even found that if you do nothing, you could end up with your finger freezing in that position permanently! I was going to look into going to occupational therapy, but now I can sit at home, or anywhere for that matter, and do the exercises myself without the expense and travel of going to therapy! Thank you!

    Hello Dr. Mandell
    This very video of yours is about 4 years old..
    I've had the discussed trigger finger problem in my left hand's middle finger since 2 years now.. I just watched your video and tried your exercises..
    I made an "O" by squeezing my middle finger with my thumb like "👌" this.. believe me it did the job done in no time.. now my problematic finger is 99.5% freed from locking/jamming like it was locking/jamming before..
    This is miracle..😇❤️
    Thank you Dr. Mandell 🙏

Also, think about just how benadryl a auto mechanics hands are after years of holding a wrench with all their strength for yrs. N.must be just terrible.

And you popped up and I absolutely think God. I did not want to get another surgery or get another Cortizone shot to raise up my blood sugar, but doing these exercises and wisdom and knowledge that you put on the video. I feel 80% healed. I will continue to do the exercise until this goes away. I was using the rubber band, the strength my muscles and I was working my fingers. No more surgery for me.

You are my Goto Doc now as I know you will be able to help. And you've done it again with these exercises straight off the bat. After one go the pain has nearly gone and my finger isn't 'triggering' any more. So of course I'll continue with these exercises. Excellent.

    You are a good samaritan. You are so good in explaining without hiding or dropping out anything...you wish the best for helpless patients to get rid of so many ailments that could be done at home without any colossal unnecessary expenditure in hospitals..and also unnecessary drugs dumping into the body...
    I'm a sufferer with a Trigger Finger...while I was browsing I caught up with your video and it's the best video so far...Now I can start on all the exercises according to your advices....Thanks my DEAREST friend Doctor...

I have just tried your exercises and they certainly help in the short term- I am so happy as the thought of locked- up hands was really starting to depress me! I'll keep doing the exercises and hope that they give me a long-term benefit too. FYI, the exercise where you oppose the trigger finger to the thumb and then push seems to give me an almost immediate effect. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom- I am extremely grateful.

    Brilliant Dr. Mandell, many thanks. I've had 3 trigger fingers for years. I'm going to get cracking, pardon the pun, with all the exercises you suggested. I thank God for you. Blessings ❤️

    I did the exercise as you demonstrated each one. At the end of the video, my trigger finger was actually already a little better. I’m going to guess 50% or more. Thank you so much. I have been dealing with this for several years, and you are the first to give me hope. I thought surgery was the only way to fix it.

    Wow! You are awesome. Did all the exercises like you demonstrated. You explained everything so clearly. I got rid of my trigger finger in just a few minutes. Finger had been locked for like 20 hours. I tried heat and ice with no luck. Wish I had found your video this morning. Happy to hear you say to let the body heal itself. 😍😁

    Was watching, I gently rubbed while watching you, and Glory be!! My finger straightened somewhat. I couldn’t straighten it all day and was very painful. Not the cure, but eased my discomfort. Thank you.

    I have a trigger finger for the past three month, I went to a doctor who prescribed Meloxicam and asked me to take it for two weeks, after five days I started to feel slight pain where I did not have before.
    I tried all your exercises for five minutes and the clicking reduced.
    Thank you for this video it was helpful.

    Wow, Dr. Mandell, you are amazing and thanks so much for sharing with us your wisdom! I took notes with your valuable instructions, and I bet I'll save money and time on going to the doctor. I have been suffering with arthritis, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Anyway, my heartfelt appreciation for your intelligence. In fact, I just got home from the doctor’s clinic for my left thumb trigger finger that had cortisone shot on May, 2023, but my left thumb is still stiff and cannot bend it. I will certainly be doing the exercises you shared with us. Thanks again doctor for all you do for us.👏🥰

    Hey Doc. I have had triger finger for about 3 years and have had 2 painful cortisone shots every year and i was getting ready for the 3rd one. since a few days ago i decided to educate myself more with home remedy and after watching your helpful video and practicing the recommended exercises, my finger is feeling much better and I have put a hold on the next shot. Thanks a million for your video.

    So I have been keeping a rubber band around my wrist, (a lose one) and doing that exercise when I’m watching a movie, or anytime I can. I have also been massaging it like you show. Since I saw this post and have been doing the exercises- I haven’t been perfect with it by any means, and I’ve only consistently done 2 of the exercises, the ones I mentioned, my finger has felt a little stiff, but it hasn’t been frozen or snapping/clicking when I wake up since then! I appreciate it so much! 😊👐🏽✌🏽

    Wow I can’t believe it, I only did a couple of light hearted attempts at each exercise and my finger has completely stopped sticking. I’m totally stunned! I am addicted to crochet and this sadly has all of a sudden after three years caused my trigger finger it got so bad that today I bought arthritis support gloves. I will make sure I do these exercises regularly thank you so much!

    I've found that releasing the myofascial trigger points in flexor and extensor muscles in the forearm, distal of the elbow, will also release the digits in the hand. Gratitude.

    Thank you for explaining trigger finger and posting the illustrations, those are very helpful. My doctor had me get xrays of both of my hands and told me I had arthritis. I told him I had trigger finger on 2 fingers and showed him my issue. He did give me a shot ofa steroid and told me to come back in 3 months for another shot. He didn't tell me to do any exercises. I have performed all of the exercises you recommended and will continue until my trigger finger(s) get better. Great explanation in laymen terms, very helpful information. I was going to call the hand surgeon today and I am glad I saw your video. Have a great day, I know I will!

    I’ve had this problem for around 18 months. I’ve been doing these exercises all week and Ive found that I can bend and straighten my finger with around 30-50% less pain and my finger doesn’t get stuck as often. I’ feel like it’s going to be a slow healing for me as I’ve had the problem for quite a long time, but I’m determined because this is the first thing that I’ve found that’s really helped me. I’m going to keep doing the exercises every morning and will track my progress here each week.

    • @JT-qx5yx
      @JT-qx5yx Год назад +6

      Seeing more progress after another week. I feel like my finger is getting more strength again and the pain is definitely decreasing. Slow progress, but I’m getting there
