I found out that I need surgery for my trigger finger. I'm right-handed and the problem is with my left ring finger. It gets stuck in a bent position. Has anyone had any experience with this? The surgery isn't until January, so I've got a lot of time to work myself into a tizzy.

My mom just had that surgery done... and now her other hand is acting up and will probably need it done also. The scar is still very sore and it's been a couple months.

If you have a good chiropractor you might ask if he can do anything for it. Maybe you can avoid the surgery???

I had the same surgery on the same hand and finger. The surgery was fast and not painful at all. I thought my recovery was quick also. I have no soreness at all and the scar is maybe a half inch, but you have to look for it to know it is there. I haven't had any problems with any other fingers either.

Thanks for the replies! I'd like to avoid the surgery if possible, but it's good to know some have had good luck with it. I expect it'll keep getting worse if I don't do something about it.
Vicki & Lisad, how long before you could get back to work? I already have a few whiners "what about my nails???" arrgghh... nice to know they care, huh?
