@precisioncaremedical: What is a trigger finger? A trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where a finger becomes stuck in a bent position and then snaps straight with a triggering sensation. This occurs when the tendon that flexes the finger becomes inflamed and cannot glide smoothly through the tendon sheath. This can cause pain and difficulty moving the finger, especially when trying to grip objects. Trigger finger is a common condition that affects people of all ages, but is most commonly seen in middle-aged women and those with certain medical conditions such as diabetes. Trigger finger release injection is a procedure to treat trigger finger, a condition where the finger becomes locked in a bent position. The procedure involves injecting a local anesthetic and a steroid into the affected tendon sheath to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. The injection can help improve hand function and allow the finger to move freely. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and has a relatively quick recovery time. #triggerfinger #triggerfingerrelease #triggerfingerinjection #handpain #injection #stenosingtenosynovitis #handpainrelief #nycdoctor #nycdoctors #midtownmanhattan
