Sorry, off-topic message: Bob, we think about you and we don't forget about you of course. I hope you are doing well and I am so glad that Brad is doing amazing videos with Mike during your hiatus. Wishing you all the best.

My best wishes to Bob also.

This was VERY HELPFUL! I have trigger fiber on the same middle finger. Probably 10 years now and this is a solution- so easy. Thank you so very much!

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear it was helpful!!

[@blipco5]

Tape your middle trigger finger to the ring finger and it won’t lock up.

[@madgevanness4011]

My index finger triggered. I used the massage technique and it went away. Started after a marathon needlepoint session, so avoiding repetitive overuse is now something I pay attention to.

[@BobandBrad]

Great to hear it has been fixed!

[@claudiastrizeski8523]

I’ve had multiple hand surgeries (16!), and have recently begun to have issues with trigger finger…annoying but not painful. After watching this video, I began the massage techniques, actually feeling the nodule! The massaging IS helping and so will do daily. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

My sister is 30 and she started to get trigger finger in all of her fingers worse and worse until she started taking her multivitamin again. She is very picky and does not have a good diet, so she seemed to have some kind of deficiency that was cured quickly with a regular vitamin.

[@BobandBrad]

Wow!!!! That is terrific!! I’ve had trouble with that trigger finger for more than 10 yrs… thought of having surgery.. I was having trouble with it when your video popped up… I followed what you were doing on the video and I can now grasp and it does’t catch for the first time in all those years! Thank you soooo much!!😊

[@BobandBrad]

You are very welcome!!

[@MarciaLeeful]

I started the massage as directed everyday and at first it was really painful but I stuck with it and after a period of two weeks it has become much less painful and less sensitive! Also my finger is locking less! Just had to stick it out!!

[@BiterAvid]

Thank you so much. Wow, once again, you are brilliant. I am 72 and this year I got trigger finger very badly in both hands. Both thumbs were the worst along with several other fingers on both hands in various degrees of pain and dysfunction. I no longer possessed opposable thumbs. Human beings are gifted with opposable thumbs and its what makes our species successful. Well, I did not have that feature even a tiny bit. I had to go to a hand specialist and I had a succession of wrist and finger splints and a steroid injections to start off. It was a long ordeal. I discovered on my own, that pressing on that area of my thumbs was painful but in a good way and when I stopped the pressing, I felt a warm surge of relief in that finger. I wish I had seen this video earlier, You two would have saved me several months of various splints and appointments.

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to be able to have helped! Keep up the great work!

[@catmomjewett]

I have a thing with toes and burning in the ball of my foot that responds to much the same treatment. I’m proud that I figured it out just by listening to my body.

[@BobandBrad]

Good for you!!

[@lynnstillwell2]

Your older videos on trigger finger helped me tremendously. My trigger thumb disappeared and never came back. Like Brad, I have a recurrent problem with a middle finger. The techniques work well. I have recently discovered that in my sleep, I often put a hand under my head when side-lying, and when I wake up, I have a locked trigger finger, taking a while to get it loosened. I'm trying to figure out a comfortable way to prevent myself from doing that in my sleep. -- Thank y'all for your invaluable help in so many areas! You have saved me and some family members a lot of money!

I'm in my early 60s, and I just developed trigger finger a couple months ago. Didn't really notice it much at first, but then suddenly realized something wasn't right with my right hand ring finger not extending smoothly like all the other fingers. I had no idea what the problem was, and had never even heard of this condition before I started looking up my symptoms a few weeks ago. So this video is very timely for me! Thanks!

[@MakerBees333]

😎MY best and SUCCESSFUL🎉method was wearing a finger while I was sleeping. In one hand it took 3weeks, on the other 6weeks, but it immediately improved after the first night Personally had this‼️ Got it evaluated after started affecting my middle and index. The Doctor immediately tried to schedule surgery like a high pressure sale. (I said NO) and started the message shown here, but every morning was the worst, which is why I thought of a splint to avoid the worst of it. It ended up curing it. ❤

[@TheKandiO]

[@PragmaticPerson]

Ditto everyone else’s comments. I also have trigger finger on my middle finger, which I wonder if it’s related to using it with the roller on my computer mouse. I’ll try these exercises immediately. THANK YOU! And hello and best wishes to Bob.

[@garystrother7686]

Thanks, I will give this a try. I developed this about t0 years ago, and it hurt so bad I went to a specialist. He put a shot of something on either side, and said if that does work we might have to operate, and cut the tendon. Which means I would lose use of that finger. It worked but now it is coming back.

[@TishBradford]

Will this work on a my finger after I've had the surgery? My grip won't grasp tight! My other middle finger started showing signs of another trigger finger on it way. So glad to see you video

[@Blissfulnessence]

That is exactly what it feels like! (The string/pully demo) I had surgery on mine a few decades ago, and with that particular finger haven't had another problem BUT frequently wake up with several of my other fingers locked up (not my thumbs yet) these days. Will give these a go! Q: Will dehydration cause trigger finger? Thanks guys! Everything I've tried of yours has helped. (I'm a lurker lol)

[@BobandBrad]

Hopefully they help!

[@Zarga8]

I think this will help me. I had a broken elbow and the splint around my hand seemed to make this weird action in my ring finger. Maybe this is is it. I have been in pt for the elbow over 4 months and heard a nearby therapist tell her patient about the “pulley” in her finger, so your description rang a bell.

[@Yourdeadmeat69]

Had trigger finger since I was eleven -- left hand pinkie and ring finger. -- comes and goes every couple three years. Tried massage very early on -- seems to work. If I damaged those joints or tendons somewhere along the way I have no memory of it. Thanks for the validation guys!

I got trigger finger in my ring finger during covid, so obviously couldn't get it looked at. It was EXCRUCIATING, but eventually worked itself out after a few months. I wish I'd had this video!

[@Shindai]

Well that's ironic. I've been waiting three years or something for my ten second steroid injection appointment, and you upload this the day before the appointment xD My left ring finger seemed to go away on its own, atm my right ring finger locks up. I can deal with that, I find lifting the tip of the finger releases it without as much pain. It's the left index finger messing me up more, I can't close the finger anymore. They've been going on for years now, they get tiresome in ahurry

I first got it when I had oversized babies and switching them when nursing destroyed my thumbs. I still get trigger finger ( I call it light switch finger), now, 30yrs later.

[@701Builder]

Just started getting this with my right index finger, 59 years old and I had no idea what it was. I’ll give these treatments a go. I was doing carpentry work and think I got this from using an impact screw gun in an awkward position on roof joists. So it really is caused by the trigger. I haven’t mentioned this to anyone but your video showed up on my feed as if KZbin could read my mind.

[@lola2837]

KZbin reads my mind too. Weird. Hope your trigger finger is no longer a problem. 😊

[@mitondo6123]

I agree with the suggestions made. But I had a painful trigger finger which tormented me for a good year -- one so bad that simple hard massaging didn’t work. . After watching some videos of therapeutists using a rubber mallet and a chisel-looking tool on tight muscles, I had this idea of simply repeatedly hammering down the part of my palm where I felt the scar tissue was with a plastic rod that had a protrusion in the end. Ever so suddenly, my trigger finger was gone. Yes, just like that. I guess the hammering down broke the scar tissue (or whatever it was) effectively. You can hammer down on it with practically anything available.

[@echognomecal6742]

[@marilynaicardi1860]

I had very painful trigger finger, middle finger left hand (I am left-handed). It hurt so bad that I put a splint on it to keep it from bending. Left the splint on for one month; when I removed the splint the pain and locking up were gone and have never returned. That was six years ago!

[@toyrificentertainment8118]

That first exercise (putting deep pressure below the finger) really seems to be doing the trick!

Glad to hear it!

[@IMOO1896]

This summer I had shots for my trigger finger which offered no relied. Surgery was recommended, but now, I’m glad I wanted to think about it. I’ve massaged, but only rubbed it because of the discomfort. Now I know I can actually make a real difference.

Yes you can! Hopefully these will help! Best of luck

I used to get trigger finger in the middle finger. I finally realized that when I drank a lot of cow's milk it would come on. Since I've quit drinking any cow's milk I have not had a single incident of it. A coworker one day mentioned that her husband was having this issue and I told her about how it helped me to stop drinking cow's milk. Her husband tried it and it actually worked for him as well.

[@koolcaliguy6382]

I have trigger finger in my right hand in the finger that's between my pinky finger and my middle finger.. I have a 2-part question about trigger finger.. 1st question: What causes trigger finger? 2nd question: If trigger finger can form on its own, why can't trigger finger heal up on its own without surgery?

[@glendamarie6256]

In your opinion doctor, how long should a physical therapy be done for a trigger thumb before I decide to have a cortisteroid shot or have operation on it? I had trigger thumb Dec 2023 and the hand therapy isn't working(therapist gave me only bending thumb excercise). I have schedule for shot on april but I really prefer natural solution.

[@CM-xn6xc]

I have to slide an ice pack edge between my trigger finger and palm, over the knuckle, and hold it there for a few minutes, before I can get enough space to massage it. I think I am getting a lot of inflamation, and so this reduces a bit of the swelling. It is very painful. I once had my finger lock completely against my palm, flat and straight down. It looked very strange. It seemed that the tendon was dislocated off the bone, if that is possible.

[@lindafalabella2412]

Would this technique work when the ring, pinky finger and the palm contort? What causes that?
