Description
Trigger finger you have made my finger stuck in a bent position I cannot straighten it by myself; I need to push it to enable motion When it becomes unstuck, it will pop out like a trigger It is like a swollen tendon being pushed through a narrowed tunnel This swollen tendon feels like a bump on the palm side of my finger It is where the tendon get stuck in the narrowed tunnel Do not do things with your hands by too much gripping Or carry heavy bags with handles in the palms during carrying Do not use the fingers to do repetitive movements Try not to press the handle of a chopper on the meat's hard ligaments There will cause the tendon's tunnel sheath to be compressed As a result the sheath tunnel will collapse and become depressed The treatment is to try exercising the fingers in warm water And stretch the tendon through the tunnel's depressed quarter If that do not work you may need a shot of cortisone into the tendon sheath Or Surgery to cut the narrowed tendon sheath for the tendon's relief-An original poem by Kenneth Kee Interesting Tips about the Trigger Finger A Healthy Lifestyle1.

Exercise and stay active. It is best to do weight-bearing exercise such as walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing, or lifting weights for 21/2 hours a week. One way to do this is to be active 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Begin slowly especially if a person has not been active.6. Do not drink more than 2 alcohol drinks a day for a man or 1 alcohol drink a day for a woman. Alcohol use also increases the chance of falling and breaking a bone. Alcohol can affect the neurons and brain cells. Sensitivity of the nerves to the trigger finger may be affected7. Stop or do not begin smoking. It also interferes with blood supply and healing. Chapter 1Trigger Finger Trigger Finger is the compression of the tendon sheath of one of the tendon to the fingers or thumb (trigger thumb)The tendon sheath is a protective cover for the tendon which provides protection for the tendon as it travels across the finger's bones especially at the joints. Trigger Finger occurs as a result of narrowing of the tendon sheath and the inflammation of the tendon. When the tendon gets caught in the sheath, the finger becomes locked in the narrowed tendon sheath until the tendon is freed from the tight area from forced movement of the locked finger using the other hand.
