Before doing another cortisone shot, I am getting a consult from PT tomorrow. However, I have read about trigger fingers and know that surgery is often the only solution. It's great you like your doc though. It helps a lot. I sure hope Far Guy and Chance do a wonderful job of taking care of you.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-44830891243987394632010-12-21T20:00:29.453-06:002010-12-21T20:00:29.453-06:00wow...that was a fast decision...you will be in my...wow...that was a fast decision...you will be in my thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery without pain...!<br />Guess you will be healed enough to hitchhike with that thumb by New Years??? xxooThe Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-80401554683328204342010-12-21T18:56:41.708-06:002010-12-21T18:56:41.708-06:00Thats a great mag to have in the waiting room...no...Thats a great mag to have in the waiting room...not!<br /><br />Hope you are better soon :-)<br /><br />WizzAn English Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17538962642970952214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-15358180689340292852010-12-21T18:55:18.114-06:002010-12-21T18:55:18.114-06:00Thumbs up...you will be able to do that soon, pain...Thumbs up...you will be able to do that soon, pain free.<br /><br />Heal quickly.

I also had a tendon cut to relieve a finger that did the popping thingie. Is that what it is? No matter what the surgery is, it's worth the pain, trouble and fear to get rid of the pain. Oh, and my knee surgeon hasn't even graduated from High School yet. They sure grow them young!
