Trigger thumb

Posted , 1 user is following.

hi. i went to my consultant with trigger thumb. he gave me 2 cortisone shots over 3 weeks. no real improvement. he then advised an mri . i hadnt heard of this before. i thought it would be straight to surgery. im claustrophobic and don't relish the thought of an MRI. is there any alternative to an mri and do i really need an mri. cheers Kevin..
