Jusnel 6th Gear August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 The GP suspected that i have trigger finger on my last finger. I kind of sprained my joint (at the palm area) of my last finger. The GP explained its the tendon that is affected. He mentioned "A1 pulley" I want to know if TCM can help? Any recommendation? The GP gave me med but i feel TCM could be a better treatment option for such sprain cases. Every morning when i wake up, it will be v painful if i move the finger. it has a little swelling, but not obvious. I thought it's Gout but GP dismissed it. The pain is only on that joint. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 Unlikely. But if u have mild trigger finger, the symptoms will come and go. Until it becomes persistent. Anti-inflammatory medications help but just relieve. As it progresses, it will become a physical obstruction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 I think tui nah works. Have to visit the place opposite sub courts. Or where the red star restaurant is. I think it's Chin Swee Rd. Ground floor. A lot to choose from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 i am not so sure TCM will work, tui na is not for join but acupuncture might help a bit. i had trigger fingers on 2 fingers of both hand, painful in the morning cos you dun move it at night, when straighten cannot bend, when bend cannot straighten. Like what lala said, it will come and go, take 2-3 weeks to go away, anti-inflammatory will definitely help and maybe take Turmeric (with ginger) powder might help in long term. Surprisingly it has been more than 4-5 years i last had one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience, acupuncture can help to reduce inflammation and manage pain better without resorting to drugs. Even the US military is using it to treat combat injuries. If you need recommendation, PM me. He is a specialist, teacher of TCM, so not cheap. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/acupuncture-is-worth-a-try-for-chronic-pain-201304016042 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mersaylee Supersonic August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 For me medication, cream, lotion, massage all didn’t help... An injection did. Took half a year to fully recover. Nowadays, I hold the hp in various ways with short intervals to prevent an occurrence...stop using the hp back panel ring for the time being...

Ray7456 3rd Gear August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 AS as in ankylosing spondylitis? Was told that it requires long-term medication like sulfasazine which is not recommended if the patient is planning for a family. I think partly got to do with genes as well, heredity.

Watwheels Supersonic August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 Bro ahh, good or not the tui nah? Any particular one you recommend? The last I went I cant remember the name of the clinic. It's just level one of the redstar restaurant. The address I Googled is 54 Chin Swee Road. All glass panel clinic. The physician worked on my son's elbow. From cannot move and bend to no more pain. Quite amazing cos he worked on the other hand instead of the injured elbow. I even reminded him it's the other elbow. But he asked me to be patient. Amazingly what he did works. Me: Dumbfounded. Cannot miss. The place has all sorts of TCM clinic. His clinic is all glass wan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLZT 6th Gear August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 I had trigger finger on my middle finger, went to visit an orthopaedic. Had a very painful steroids injection which fixed the problem for the next 6months. It came back again and doc recommended physiotherapy. Did it for about 5-6 sessions, improve abit but didn't really work. Eventually did surgery after I insisted. The inflammation was so bad the doc said it was the right decision to do the surgery. Usually people have a nodule on the tendon, but my entire tendon was covered with pink inflamed tissue. My case was quite bad as I couldnt even clench my finger. I have to learn how to write and use chopsticks with my left hand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic August 22, 2019 Share August 22, 2019 are those anti inflammatory med with steroid? i'm avoiding such med. There's steroid and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines. Both can help depending on your presentation. Short courses, most people should have no/minimal problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusnel 6th Gear August 22, 2019 Author Share August 22, 2019 50 chin swee road Can clench ur fist? If can then not so serious I can clench my fist, but with pain. so it's like in the morning, when i wake up, it will v painful when i try to clench. but still can clench. then as the day goes by, i can clench better and better, but still with some pain. the challenge in the morning is i can't hold the toothbrush to brush teeth coz its my master hand's last finger that has this problem. Thanks for the Chin Swee road recommendation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
