Trigger Finger help

Do you mean like the muscle seizes up after applying force And you can losses your grip for a few seconds?

No it doesn't happen when you are lifting weights, it happens more when your hands are at rest and not doing anything.

Curl your fingers into a fist position, and then uncurl it. For those with trigger fingers, your finger will get 'stuck' first, before you can uncurl it.

When I bench/deadlift, the thing goes away but it comes back a few hours later.. It's not painful but I don't want it to get worst.

Myotonia?

Yeah I did that already, anything else to help? I was thinking of buying a thick glove like

I had two bad bouts with de Quervains in the past year. first time I wore a brace and it went away after a month, though I still had diminished wrist ROM
second time, it was worse and significantly more painful. had to see a doctor and get a shot in my wrist for it to improve.
after having the shot, I also did some joint distraction stuff on my wrist and thumb, basically pressing the areas that had discomfort/limited motion against something until they loosened up.
that helped significantly and my wrist is back to 100%

try just pressing one of your fingers against the stuck fingers while also pressing the stuck finger against the position where it gets stuck. don't put yourself in pain while doing it, but try and feel your finger extending against an object that it can't move.

You mean like massaging it? Yeah it does feels good but that only lasts for a while. Do you reckon gloves will help?

Bumping for advice

I had this for a completely unrelated reason for a period of time. It's a weird as fuck feel. I always thought it had something todo with carpal tunnel

My friend is a welder and began having problems with trigger finger, he is currently taking 2 or 3 months off of work for surgery in both hands and healing. Has something to do with shaving some bones down in your hands/ wrists, can't remember exactly what the surgery entails... but after that you'll never have trigger finger again, it's 100% corrected permanently

>surgery

Damn anon that sounds serious. I play piano/guitar which is why I'm kinda concerned about this, even though it hasn't affected my playing at all.

Might consider seeing a doc and taking a few weeks off

This. For those trying to diagnose it it's nothing really to do with weak muscles (although that doesn't help), it's the sheathe the tendons retract into getting stuck, often around the joints.

Gloves don't help I've been lifting for about 10 years and when I wore gloves honestly it got worst just try and use your hands as often as possible you either use em or lose em

Huh why would wearing gloves make it worst though? Isn't it supposed to like protect your palms/fingers or some shit.

How did it get better for you?
