Apparently so. The PA indicated it's inflammation in the passageway in which the released tendon must be able to move freely to release. I asked him about anything I could do at home but he indicated there was nothing I could do. The surgery (if this round of shots failed) seems straight forward but would rather not go there.
It's a weird affliction. First popped up last summer, pinkie on both hands....at first, was just kind of a curiosity, like "hey, my pinkies are stuck" and I could pop them loose with a flick of my finger. Got the steroid shot in both hands, was good for about six months. Then it came back with a vengeance - pinkies were really stuck and felt like I'd been stabbed in the hands with a pencil. Just got the second round of steroids, if it comes back, i'll need the surgery. Did your wife recover completely?
Yes, 100%. No further symptoms after surgery. Her hand specialist, Dr. Gelb retired from CORE in Encinitas. We’ve heard the new hand specialist is outstanding. Happy to make inquiries if you’re local. John
