Anyone had injury to their trigger finger? If so what happened, how did you recover, were there lasting impacts, has it changed how you train, and has it changed your ability?
I have a cut on my right hand (SH) trigger finger. It's in the crease near the tip of the finger. Edge of a plastic sign cut it pretty deep (i saw meat when it happened)but looks like a paper cut now. I went to a doctor who did liquid stitch and ordered Xrays of the finger. It isnt broken or dislocated but has tissue damage. Its swollen pretty bad.
Im worried about the tendon on the underside of my finger being cut or damaged. I think the technical term would be my flexor digitorum profundus tendon and the most distal end of my phlanx.
At the moment all dry fire has ceased, and i cant really use my finger (or bend the last joint). It still theobs and hurts. But its only been a week. Im hoping it recovers well, otherwise I'm going to have to become left handed and thats going to be a struggle.
Every injury is different, but have others had trigger finger injury?
