I'm not sure if this is the best place to start this thread so forgive me if it's not... This topic came up in another thread and I thought it would be interesting to see if others had/have these kind of issues and how they dealt/deal with them.... I didn't want to hijack the other thread so I brought up this thread.
I am hoping those that have these problems will jump into the thread and share their experiences... successful or otherwise.
Danny B mentioned having a trigger finger and tendon issues... to Danny B I say ...I wish you the best of luck with your hand and tendon issues. These things can be very frustrating for guitar players. I hope you are able to get back to normal with everything.
I have had trigger fingers, discomfort and tightness in both hands for many years. The 1st steroid injections I had were very helpful and my hands were great for a year or so. Then gradually they started to stiffen up and the trigger fingers, tightness and stiffness were all fully back.
Eventually, I went to another doctor and got another steroid shot which didn't seem to help at all. I have lived with it since then. That was a couple years ago. I'm no expert but I wonder if perhaps it is too late for the shots to help... At times, I think of going to see another orthopedic doctor for a 3rd try...
Anyone else been through this?
