I was going to reply and say I have trigger finger, but as I examined my hands, I realized it has gone away. Weird huh? I didn't even realize it. I had it for several years, but now that I think about it, I can't remember when it went away. Wish I knew what happened. Oh well. --Jeana in AK Ü ----- Original Message ----- .

I also had hand surgery on both hands, my doctor told me I had trigger finger. My fingers would bend w/difficulty and sometimes stick. I also had it in one of my wrists. Had two different surgeries. Anyone else experience this? I cant recall the exact medical term for it. Something like stenosing tenosynivitus or something close to that.

Done by a neurosurgeon and I got complete relief. It was great. It might be worth getting a second opinion. I had have DM for 44 yrs now, so I was not a newbie at the time of surgery.

I am a Medical Technologist with a bad shoulder from previous dislocation repair, was in chronic pain for months...orthopedic surgeon said that further surgery would not be useful. Saw a good local acupuncturist. For $65, one halfhour treatment three days later all pain was gone. Asked him if I needed to "believe" for it to work, he said that it was not a placebo effect. Claimed he stimulating the healing process...Whatever...it worked and was well worth it. Scott >> definitely worth it, and it's not placebo effect. Acupunture is an ancient Chinese science. There is a great deal of logic and common sense behind it, and it's definitely worth a try. mY mom is a neurologist - specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation.

I think it is helping. I'll try the L-arginine. How much should I use? Thanks for the advice. You're a wealth of info. Love, Jeana Ü >> HI Jeana: L-arginine - 1000 mg twice a day - works really great for the leg cramps too, and I've found that it helps with the arthritic pain some too. Rainy days, forget it. I had both hands done for the carpal tunnel. Rt side severe, left moderate to severe. got all the feeling back in the right by 6 weeks after surgery, got all back on the left within 3 days. It was worth it, and even if it relieves some, that's worth it...but make sure you have a good hand surgeon. Joan:))) << I did read that evening primrose
