@quiltingrx, I love your username. I assume you're a quilter and that it is important enough to you that it is your balm, your prescription Rx, so to speak. I can imagine then that the bilateral trigger fingers are seriously affecting your quality of life and slowly down the activity that brings you joy.

How did the appointment with the hand surgeon go? is surgery an option for you?

Thank you Colleen. Quilting is my therapy these days. My visit with the hand surgeon went well. Turns out his wife is a retired breast surgeon. He confirmed the trigger thumbs are due to trauma & swelling from the breast surgeries. Then he said, “then we divorce the two things”. There’s cause & effect, but the treatment only happens in the hands, either shots or a simple tendon release surgery. That’s a relief!
