Trapeziectomy with trigger finger surgery
Posted , 2 users are following.
I am 62 and on the 28th of this month 2023. I am getting my trigger finger fixed and a trapeziectomy at the same time on my right hand, which is my dominant hand. at the base of my thumb I am bone on bone and I have a bone spur and now I’ve developed trigger finger which really hurts. I’m having so many doubts. I’m ready to back out and just get the trigger finger done. I am beyond scared. I need to hear some success stories I really do. A lot of the ones that I have read on here are horror stories about the amount of pain and everything else. I need help in making this decision.

if there is a possibility that you could try to rest your hand and fingers before surgery would give it a try. this is a different approach and really works.
i had severe osteo pain in fingers wrist and bone on bone thumb. just by resting the hand wearing a wrist brace and finger combined with special glove at night in time it has healed. online there is a Glove brace designed for hand and finger injuries.
i wore the glove nightly to rest the ligaments cords and tissue around the bone to prevent the hands from forming a fist tension causing reflex injury. it really worked . my hands have not been in severe pain since .
just need to be mindful of hand movements after healing not to repeat the initial tasks that caused the injury in the first place. it was difficult to hold anything or open doors drive and painful. it takes time for the body to heal but it can if its is given the time. my hand injuries were caused from a variety of tasks but mainly from planting hundreds of plants in fields for years and power washing vibration.
most of my friends that had hand surgery had more problems after surgery than before. so i chose to try the rest and let it heal method on it's own approach.
i get it surgery could treat the issue and differ the pain, it really doesn't , it just creates more issues from watching my friends experiences with hand surgery. whatever you decide i wish you success.
also in the time it will take to recover from hand surgery and physical therapy... your hand could heal from osteo by rest, special braces designed to help heal the injuries and eat healthy foods like non inflammatory foods.
