    About this ebook

    This is the most detailed, up-to-date comprehensive guide on trigger finger- stenosing tenosynovitis, trigger thumb, locking finger, finger arthritis, video game thumb pain, iPad and smartphone finger pain. This is a must-read guide for anyone suffering with pain in the finger(s). It's clear that "classic" trigger finger is a predictable mechanical malfunction, but there are so many other reasons the problem can surface, some even tied to diet. That's an area of particular interest to me as a vegan, and what I read here makes absolute sense. The modern diet, especially in America is a disaster. If our bodies can't get our attention one way, they'll get it another. This is an easily accessible overview of what can be a medically dense subject. Even the proper name for trigger finger, "stenosing tenosynovitis" is a tongue twister. Without getting into intricate fine points of anatomy, you'll discover all about the classic trigger finger in Part I, before expanding that examination in Part II to consider diffuse causes of the condition. Both standard and cutting edge therapies are explained and explored. The "standard" treatment for trigger finger is, in theory, surgery. When you're done reading this book, I'm sure you'll agree that surgery should be the option of last resort. This is a thoughtful and useful compendium of practical data on a "simple" condition that isn't "simple" at all. The point is well made that we take our hands for granted until they don't work. The case studies are especially compelling, and agree that the anecdotal evidence suggesting a link to vocation or avocation is strong. Given the heavy use of smartphones in our society, I found myself wondering if instances of trigger thumb will continue to rise, with a direct link to texting.

      Trigger Finger Cure

      *****

      Foreword by Professor Rana K. Williamson

      What do you do? Your friend says, I'm going to write a book about trigger finger. In my case, my eyes glazed over a bit, and I murmured something along the lines of, That's great, Joshua! At the same time, I suspect I was praying I didn't get asked to read the book. My prayers weren't answered. I did get asked to read the book. To say that I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement. I found myself not only interested, but intrigued by the fact that so many diverse conditions can manifest in locked joints.

      It's clear that classic trigger finger is a predictable mechanical malfunction, but there are so many other reasons the problem can surface, some even tied to diet. That's an area of particular interest to me as a vegan, and what I read here makes absolute sense. The modern diet, especially in America is a disaster. If our bodies can't get our attention one way, they'll get it another. This is an easily accessible overview of what can be a medically dense subject. Even the proper name for trigger finger, stenosing tenosynovitis is a tongue twister.

      Without getting into intricate fine points of anatomy, Joshua explains classic trigger finger in Part I, before expanding that examination in Part II to consider diffuse causes of the condition. Both standard and cutting edge therapies are explained and explored. The point is well made that we take our hands for granted until they don't work. I found the case studies especially compelling, and agree that the anecdotal evidence suggesting a link to vocation or avocation is strong. Given the heavy use of smartphones in our society, I found myself wondering if instances of trigger thumb will continue to rise, with a direct link to texting.

      Joshua experienced two episodes of trigger finger, and used that experience to write a well-conceived and executed examination of the condition. That's a take away I can genuinely applaud. Most people would just complain about the problem. Joshua researched the syndrome, found an answer, and then shared the information. The result is a thoughtful and useful compendium of practical data on a simple condition that isn't simple at all. I'm sorry I glazed over when I first heard about this book, but I'm not sorry that I read it, and you won't be either. Thorough, readable, and interesting, Joshua L Sho shows that by having the right information, you can make the right choices

      The standard treatment for trigger finger is, in theory, surgery. When you're done reading this book, I think you'll agree that surgery should be the option of last resort. The best medical decisions are based on informed consent, another point strongly made in this text. Joshua sets out to accomplish just that, inform the reader. The result is a resounding success.

      Introduction

      It Snapped Upward Suddenly

      In the spring of 2007, while I was working on the computer, something strange happened with my right hand. I could make a fist, but when I released my fingers, the ring finger remained bent. I couldn’t make it go up, or down. When it finally returned to an upright position on its own, it snapped upwards suddenly and painfully.

      I had no idea what was going on, and frankly, I was scared. For 30 years, I stretched my small hands to play classical music at the piano. For more than 20 years, I taught piano and used the computer as an online entrepreneur. Now, I was working online. It was an understatement to say that I needed my hands to function normally!

      For several days, I did nothing, hoping the condition would go away. I
