- This is my right hand range of motion 10 days after trigger finger release surgery. Stitches come out tomorrow on day 11 post-op.
The middle finger is swelled also along with the areas pointed out in the video. This finger has been swelled up far beyond normal for several months due to tendon inflammation.
Thanks for watching.

I just had trigger finger surgery four days ago on my middle and ring finger, same hand. The middle finger was the worst. I've been trying to stretch and straighten them but the progress is slow and very painful. I've been through a lot of surgeries, 21 now, so I know the importance of physical therapy and to take it slow and steady.
I got real lucky. I had my surgery for my ring finger, trigger finger the day after Christmas, and was washing dishes, and during certain things a couple of days after my surgery. Almost 2 months. And absolutely not catching or clicking, and full range of motion. I too had one shot in my hand and it lasted about a year, the I decided to get it fixed.
Thank you for sharing!
Had trigger finger surgery on my left pointer finger nine days ago. Full range of motion. Doing great so far.
Sounds great!
Thanks for sharing!
Had my middle finger done about 7 weeks sgk. Still stiff, can not make tight fist, and feels odd in my palm. Everyone tells you its an easy quick surgery by seems to take forever as for aftercare!!
I had the same surgery about 10 years ago. After 4 weeks I stated PT and was back to full range of motion in 6 weeks.
Sounds good!
Thanks for watching!
Had surgery done a week ago on my middle and ringfinger. The fingers are still stiff. I practice every day and hope it will get better. Specially after the stitches are removed. Thanks for your video !
Thank you for watching and best of luck to you!
The sheath does not come back it is completely cut
Thanks for the information!
February 7th was surgery. It still hurts and sometimes wakes me up at night . 50-50 whether I would do it again at this point.. 4 weeks of hand therapy made it only slightly better . Some regression since it ended. Seeing the doctor again at 3 months. I can bear the crooked swollen finger but the pain at the incision bugs me a lot . It sometimes runs up the backside of my arm about 10 inches. I can however, make a pretty good fist. The therapist made a finger cast that helps straighten the finger but I am only to wear it half the time. I was told older people recover more slowly but 3 months? ....
That does seem lengthy, but there are so many variables involved.
I wish you the best on healing!
Thank you for watching!
Came across your video … I had 3 trigger finger release and carpal tunnel done on 12/4 … my middle finger is exactly as urs in this video. It wont release all the way while the other 2 are fine … should I be worried ? Please any tips ? Did urs eventually straighten ? I will Be seeing my Doc next week for removal of stitches . Just hoping the surgery was successful :(
Yes, my middle finger is now 100 percent straight and I can bend it in to a full grip bend. I'm very happy with the outcome.
I also just had two injections on the thumb and ring finger, I did not think they were going to be effective, both still triggered for three weeks after the injections, then like magic....all triggering was gone. 🙏 I felt blessed!
Thanks for watching and good luck with your healing!
Hey! How's it going?
Im really worried about the surgery, after its done and all the recovery, will I have the "same" grip strength as before?
Hope you're doing great!!
Hello, my grip strength has returned to 100 percent, but it's taken nearly 2 years. If you get the injections, the chemistry of the corticosteroids will soften the tendon for several weeks and you should avoid extreme gripping during that time. My surgeon told me that actual tendon rupture is rare....but still a possibility.
On my middle trigger finger release surgery and injections on thumb and ring finger, I am 100 percent satisfied. I hope you heal well and gain full range of motion.
Thank you for watching!
Lol, i guess mine is starting to get pretty bad. Can open it a little more then yours but trying to make a grip just leaves it sticking out. Has the same swollen awkward bent you have. And here i thought it was my carpel tunnel but that surgery is doing fine.
It takes time, a lot longer than one would expect.
Thanks for watching!
I had trigger finger surgery on my middle finger about 8 days ago. To help me with bending and stretching pain, I use lidocaine cream very generously. To keep your range of motion you gotta do deep stretching which is painful as heck.
Good luck and thanks for watching!
Knee surgery, two tennis elbows, ripped open the meat in between the thumb and index(5interior stiches and 5 exterior) , super sprained my left ankle. My skidoo cab flew of at ~80km/h and hit me in the face. Tumbled for about 12 years. That one took some limit pushing and pain tolerance but finally got better after a year.
You have certainly been put to the test with all that happened to you. I'm glad you're in a better place now. Some accidents seem so simple, yet can cause lifelong complications.
Stay safe!
That's how mine is and it's only been a day after surgery lol. Waiting to see it after two-three weeks as well.
At a year I can straighten this finger about 90 percent and curl it about the same.
On gripping, it has good strength but slight dull pain in tendon.
The best news is the cyst on the tendon is gone with zero pain when I press where it was, as in gripping a tool like a screwdriver or power tool.
I wish you the best in your healing and thank you for watching and commenting!
@@pmtips4482 Firstly, thanks so much for this vid! You did me such a kindness, cuz I had thought i was all alone. I had trigger surgery yesterday and it's exactly exactly like yours was when you made this vid! Its so hard for me to type this, cuz it hurts to even type. Like you, I have deep pain in my palm directly below the mid-finger. Both knuckles of mid-finger are in bent position just like yours were post-op. Venecia, i hope u healed by now. My fingers became heavily arthritic and painful prematurely (i'm 61) due to all the mechanical exertions i put them thru. I also get very painful sores on knuckle of left pointer-finger, due to it becoming so thickened/calcified. People learn that they were their own worst enemies - but only after its too late. Nobody warns us beforehand...unfortunately.
i looked for a follow up , couldn't find . How was the final result ? I had mine done , and I can't straighten my finger .
Same looked as well, I’m curious cause at the day 10 day mark I’m at the same as you.
I hope you are doing better Pm! Sorry you are going through that! Have a good weekend! See ya!
Thanks John! It should just be a short term thing on the healing and getting hand use back.
Take care!
You never did the videos for after. How long did it take to recover? Are you fully recovered ?
Hello and thank you for asking.
My finger has about 90 % range of motion, with extreme tightness of tendon when I hit that 90 percent.
The surgeon says it will take months to get 100 % ROM.
Thanks for watching!
@@pmtips4482 did you get physical therapy following surgery?
I was skeptical with the whole process, but I'm 6 days in and I see improvements as it's healing. Sore in the middle like you stated. Incision looks similar. My ring finger is bent the way your middle finger is. Which was the finger that needed the release surgery. Oh yeah, my wrist has been aching a bit. Hopefully, that's just a part of the healing and I don't end up with carpal tunnel. Great video. Wished I had seen it a few days earlier. I would've had hope sooner.
Best of luck to you!
Don't sweat carpal tunnel surgery. I've had both wrists done and so has my wife, we both had 100% success with them too.
Also, your doctor will tell you if you need CTR surgery, be careful how long you put it off, as the thumb muscle will become atrophied, leaving you with no strength in that thumb.
Thank you for watching!
@@pmtips4482 Thanks!
Hi, this is the same as mine but the videos here regarding trigger fingers post op says i should be able to curl my fingers which I cant. This makes me worries. Did yours recover fully?
The finger in the video has recovered 95 to 98 percent, meaning I cannot extend it as straight or bend it in as tight and before I damaged the tendon.
I also have zero pain on this finger, I am extremely pleased with the result.
Thanks for watching!
I just had trigger surgery yesterday on mid finger. I can flex my fingers tightly toward palm BUT ONLY with pain. Ditto with extending my mid-finger.
Thanks for the video I’m on day 4 after the surgery. Will be looking into your other videos to see your progress.
Had my middle finger done 3 weeks ago,still can't open all the way
It can take several months to regain full range of motion, along with working the finger every night with stretching and the finger jack.
Good luck to you and thanks for watching!
😢 wow long time!!!! This is my first day.. i will have to be patience i guess
Wondering how you are doing? Did not find your 2wk park video. I have had a fee fingers on both hands done. Finding my middle finger the hardest to get back full mobility. You?
The right middle finger is the only finger that needed the release surgery. After surgery it curled up something fierce and my surgeon demanded me go to hand therapy or it will never straighten out. So after 6 weeks of hand therapy and many hours slowly straightening my finger using heat and ultrasonic therapy, today it is 100 percent pain free and full range of motion.
It doesn't happen over night, so hang in there and use the finger joint jack if needed. I had to use the joint jack for nearly six months combined with sleeping with a straight splint on the finger to keep it from curling.
I wish you the best of luck!
I had surgery yesterday and my middle finger stil not straight 100% i have to be patience. Thanks for your video. I want to see your next videos about your finger
Thank you for watching!
Have trigger thumb left hand. Did the cortisone shot, worked for about 6 weeks , back to square one. Then right thumb started but not as bad , and I’m right handed. Needless to say my left thumb is horrible and when it pops the pain is excruciating. Wondering if I should try one more shot before surgery?
Here's my hand journey: all on right hand, my strong hand.
Middle finger tendon damaged by carrying a 75 pound bucket with no gloves about 20 yards and the pressure caused a cyst knot on the tendon. Doc 1 gave me an injection, but the triggering came back in 6 weeks, he didn't think a 2nd injection would matter so he did the surgery and now that finger is 100 %.
Then...after remodeling a house and demolishing 2 out buildings, my right thumb and ring finger triggered and would lock tight on occasion. Doc 2 (I wanted to try another doc who had awesome reviews in the same orthopedic office), he gave me the corto dose pack twice in 6 weeks and after terrible stomach issues from those he gave the thumb and ring finger injections, for the next two weeks I had no improvement and both still triggered but much softer. Then like magic...the third and fourth week...triggering stopped. Both thumb and ring finger are 100 % now. On a side note, doc 2 will give a second injection before surgery as he says tendon rupture is very rare. Another thing doc 2 does is use a miniature ultra sonic scope and probe to find the exact position of the sheath to inject. Im very pleased with doc 2 and the outcome.
Good luck to you and your hands!
Thanks for watching!
@@pmtips4482 thank you for this info. I am going back this week for second injections on both thumbs , will discuss surgery if injections don’t work. Fingers crossed. I need my thumbs Lol.
@@rickki6 I wish you the best of luck!
Ive had a couple tendon injuries. Dont take my advice if you think im wrong... But ive found that pain is gain... U need to push through the pain to get to a better quality of life
I straighten my finger every night with a finger jack screw clamp device, then sleep with it in a straight brace. After removing the brace in the morning, within 30 minutes, it will start curling again. Doc said it could take months. Time will tell.
Thanks for watching!
Hi, how is your hand now?
The middle finger is now 100 percent. Any kind of finger tendon issue with my hands takes about 2 years to heal or so it seems.
Now my right thumb and ring finger are just now getting good after both had injections 10 weeks ago.
Thanks for watching!
@@pmtips4482thank you for responding
My trigger finger I have to work it open close open close to get it fully open a few times a day. 6 Weekes after surgery. The area above the incision tight and my finger do not bend back yet.
In my case, Doc told me that it can take months to get back full range of motion. It took right at a year. The main thing is keep it splinted as straight as you can tolerate during sleep.
I wish you the best!
@@pmtips4482 I do try that. Thanks. At least they are no longer fully locking down now. Yep, if you caught it, I did both middle same day.
@@pmtips4482 Interesting...thanks so much for letting me know about splinting during sleep. Which splint?
@minniyoutubaster I just bought a 2 or 3 pack of single straight finger splints off Amazon.
Good luck on your recovery!
Thanks for watching!
@@pmtips4482 which brand did you buy? I must emphasize that many amazon splints extend onto the palm area. But that's not good - because the palm is where my incision was. And its very sore over there (like a painfully-deep black-and-blue mark). So it needs to be a splint that does NOT extend onto palm area. To Livnfree - my trigger-surgery-finger (mid-finger) is also bent at both knuckles since last week's surgery a few days ago. The surgeon's PA insisted that I keep this abnormal bandage on, despite pleading with him that I wish to put paper-tape on the boo-boo instead. So until my next appointment w/him more than a week from now, i'm stuck with a thick wad of cotton-covered gauze, which in turn is wrapped around and around with an Ace bandage.
I am allergic to Cortisone so I can’t do the shots, so I guess I’ll be opting for the surgery
The cortisone shot in my right hand middle finger hurt like hell.
I was begging him loudly to stop but he got her done lol.
On the way home as my wife drove, I had the window down and it was a cold day, to keep from getting sick. I guess I could be allergic to it also. It made me nearly vomit.
That and my finger was totally numb for 3 long days.
I hate hand injuries and the associated treatments.
Good luck to you!
@@pmtips4482 the last time I had a Cortizone shot it put me into anaphylactic shock. My blood pressure was 250/150.
Good Lord that is high!
On two occasions mine went 200/100 with classic chest pain and spent both weekends in icu then testing with die thru artery showed no blockage. Turned out to be hiatal hernia both occasions.
I hope you the best with your hand.
@@pmtips4482 thank you
The good news is that after 3 weeks, mine is still exactly like yours is. Middle finger right hand. When I try to close it, the pain increases
Stay close to your hand doctor. My doctor could actually feel any triggering happening that I could not feel. He puts a finger over the sheath area then slowly opens and closes your finger. You go your whole life with zero hand problems them Bam....all kinds of carpal and tendon issues.
I wish you the best of luck!
