[QUOTE="mcs, post: 180353, member: 12"] Age 60 but look in my late 40s early 50s. Avid lifter. Eat clean, all organic, no drugs, booze. Trigger finger (aka stenosing tenosynovitis) started early last year mostly in right middle finger. Kept lifting despite chronic clicking/stiffness in morning but no pain. Got a cortisone injection March of last year, better for a couple days, then wore off quick. Worse over time until these last few months when it stopped clicking and I could no longer make a fist and the pain set in. Then got even worse when the gym closed and I was no longer lifting. How the hell can it get worse when I stopped gripping? Finally went in for a percutaneous needle release surgery (no stitches) late last week. Still rehabbing, soreness and swelling is to be expected but I still am unable to make a fist, as my middle finger just won't go down, too much swelling and pain. I ask myself how the hell this happened? There are lifters that go on for years with no problems like this (although they frequently get other joint issues). It makes me think there's someting else going on. I felt no pain when lifting and gripping bars, although I have had and continue to have issues with elbow and shoulder tendinosis. Hypothyroidism and diabetes can sometimes contribute to the cause of TF, but I am on thyroid replacement and not diabetic. Am concerned I will not get back my finger range of motion or grip strength back even with surgery. Any and all advice appreciated. [/QUOTE]
