Hand Pain

Posted by lotsofpain @lotsofpain, Dec 8, 2023

The middle finger of my left hand sticks when bent and has to be physically straightened. Today it really stuck and now the top of my hand is very painful. What have I done what will lesson the pain. I have taped it up for the time being

Hi. That’s probably trigger finger. Don’t tape it because that will just make it stiff and more painful. Just keep moving the joint. It will probably be worse in the morning. I use a heating pad and lotion to massage and get it moving.

Have you been diagnosed with RA by chance?

Thank you yes its definatly trigger finger but this time i think i hurt tendon higher up the taping is just a sort term support

Sadly I’ve had five and had two surgically released and am in line for another on January.

The tendon is trapped in the area at the base of your finger. And that draws on the tendon making the finger draw in. I’ve taped mine multiple times to keep it straight and always regretted it when I took the tape off. I will tell you what PT told me.. it is much more important to be able to clench a fist than to make a finger straight.

You usually get yours injected?

@lotsofpain oh yes. I have trigger fingers too. Even though 2 had surgery about 7 years ago, they are back to getting stuck.

Ah then you know. I mistakenly thought you were encountering them for first time.

My sister has R.A. and she has had surgery on both hands for trigger finger. She loves this cream. She said that she use to dread mornings because it would take hours to get her hands to work. And yes she use to tape her hands too. It's good to see her happy and not struggling with her hands. I hope this cream can help other people. It has truly been life changing for her.

I just ordered some! I have SFN, and carpal tunnel in both hands. It is raging right now. Waiting for my next steroid injection, and then surgery. I will try this in the meantime.

I really hope it helps you. Please let me know how it works for you. I would start with the 1000 or 2500 and give it awhile to start working and use it every day. Even though it started working for my sister day one. But it did come with a lot of prayers.

Please talk to your doctor or a medical professional about anything that you put in or on your body. I'm sorry I should have led with that.

I’m a nurse! No worries! I’ve used CBD products before but it’s always nice to hear success stories.
