I've had triggering in each thumb in the past, and I found that one downfall of the oval 8 is the fact that the plastic has no friction, which means that when you need to grip something, the plastic slides. The pad on my thumb was pretty useless. So I also bought some fabric and Velcro splints that wrap around my finger or thumb to use when I needed that friction. I also have a thumb brace to use at night because more than once, I woke up with the oval 8 off my thumb. So for me, there was not a single solution that worked for every situation. The most important thing is to make sure you can keep track of the darn things; cats think they are fun toys!
I went with a plastic oval with a curved cross bar, optional sizes to avoid sores rubbing. Easy hand washing... I live on a farm.... there is a lot of hand washing.
I get this feeling of something moving (maybe a nerve) near the radial side of the arm, just in the crease line of the elbow join portion whenever I do tricep exercises. There is no pain but I am worried, what could it be and how to fix it?
Sure! I explain it at minute 02:19 but it's when the sheath that surround the tendon swells, or there can be a nodule, and that enlarged area gets stuck in the pulley. This produces a clicking or a locked finger depending on the severity.

I'm splinting right now and my finger is much more stiff and sore. How long should I wear the splint? All day, or just when I go to bed?

What is the yellow and white line on your arm ?
Can you define what you mean by “trigger finger,” please?
