Unhappy trigger finger

Does anyone suffer from trigger finger? I just graduated from nursing school and began working about 8 months ago. I wake up mornings and have trouble with both middle fingers ( and no, i'm not flipping off the supervisor more frequently;-) Any connection that anyone knows of?

Re: trigger finger

My sister has trigger finger in both her thumbs. I thought it was funny when she was diagnosed. But I realized it was an abnormailty in the bones. She is in school to become a dentist and she says that writing has become painful to her but she will not give up.

Re: trigger finger

My mom just had surgery for trigger thumb. She's been a nurse (now nurse practioner) for years...maybe its similar to carpel tunner with the repetative motion thing? Honestly, i really know nothing about it, i'm a bad daughter!

Re: trigger finger

My husband who is a computer programmer has had one trigger surgically repaired and now has a second one and is planning on having that one repaired as well. He had total recovery and full range of motion after the repair.
