Do I have Trigger Finger?

Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition that causes the fingers to catch or lock when bent. When it occurs in the thumb, it’s called trigger thumb.

Trigger finger happens when tendons in the finger or thumb become inflamed.
People whose work or hobbies require repetitive gripping actions are more likely to develop trigger finger. It is also more common in women and people with diabetes.

Trigger finger can cause significant personal distress, making it hard to exercise and work.

Do I Need To Do X-rays, Ultrasounds or MRIs?

Many cases can usually be well managed by an experienced doctor who can provide a clinical diagnosis based on a patient’s clinical history and physical examination.

X-ray, ultrasounds and MRIs are generally not required unless other underlying causes are suspected.

How Can Trigger Finger Or Thumb Be Treated?

For many patients, their doctors will likely prescribe rest and medications for a short period of time.
Some doctors may also offer steroidal injections.
In severe cases, doctors may also suggest surgery.

What To Expect When I Visit The Pain Relief Clinic

A typical visit will involve our doctor first understanding your medical history, concerns and previous experience with other pain treatments.

For patients who have consulted many people but have yet to receive a clear diagnosis, selecting an affordable imaging scan might be recommended to confirm the cause of your pain..

Some patients have already done scans with other doctors for their pain condition but are still not clearly told what they suffer from.

Dr Terence Tan is happy to offer you a second opinion and recommend how best to manage your condition.

We also see patients who already have a confirmed diagnosis from specialist pain doctors, but are "stuck” because treatment options offered are not practical or acceptable.

We can help by discussing options that you might have potentially never been told of.

A common experience is when a patient has already consulted a specialist doctor for pain management and is told to consider orthopaedic surgery which they find too aggressive.

Or they may have seen doctors for their pain and were prescribed painkillers with potential side effects which made them feel uncomfortable.

Many of our patients have also first tried complementary treatments or acupuncture with traditional Chinese pain doctors.

They look for a second opinion after finding any relief experienced from other treatments to be temporary or requiring repetitive treatments, which add up to time and cost.

Especially in such situations, we emphasize using non-invasive medical technology you likely have not been told about .

This can make a big difference to your results.
