Reply to "Continuing Saga …"

Al, welcome to my world. I'm a righty and the left hand serves as a c-clamp most of the time holding onto everything that I'm working on. Thus my arthritis in my left thumb is worse than the right and I've had more trigger finger problems in the left than the right. Also, guitar playing as a righty means the left is clamping the heck out of the neck to do bar chords, etc. All of this over-stresses the left hand. I firmly believe that trigger finger is a repetitive motion type injury, especially if you're gripping hard over many years. The shot corrected my long finger on left hand, but ultimately didn't work on the ring finger. Always go with the shots first... Achem's Razor. Three shots of cortisone starts breaking down the tendons which is something you don't want. The surgeons don't touch the tendons when they do the release. They do explore it to make sure it's in good shape. So here's to the shot doing the trick.
