I have had trigger-finger surgery left middle due to repetative gripping action due to my occupation. I cannot extend finger backwards, cannot place fingers together, get incredible undesrible pain simply doing nothing. Sometimes pain shoots up inside of my palm through my forearm to elbow almost like electrical shock. It is swollen-surgery performed 2/15. I am following exercises doctor advised to no avail. Not on any medication except ibuprofen. I need to know how long to expect these pains, or how to determine if I need further tests, and if my hand will ever return to 100%, as dexterity is key to my profession. Please help..Sincerely Injured and Confused
