[QUOTE="cteld, post: 268785, member: 43034"] For what it's worth, I'm a huge lover of trigger point therapy for pain (including tendon pain). Has anyone tried it? From the Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Clair Davies, flexor digitorum trigger points may be implicated. You can try this right now in front of your computer. "The condition known as 'trigger finger,' where a finger becomes locked in the flexed position, can sometimes be helped by deep massage to a tender spot on the palm side of the knuckle where the finger joins the hand." Also feel about midway between the wrist and elbow on the inner arm for a couple of tender spots that cause sharp pain or referred pain to the fingers, and massage them. When massaging these 3 points, the technique you use is very specific: Find the tender spot, dig in to the spot and rub with a stroking motion once about an inch, then lift up and return to original spot and repeat 6-12 times, all fairly slowly and in the same direction. If this massage immediately helps at all, that's a good sign that trigger point therapy will help. If it doesn't, it may or may not help. Repeat 6 times spaced throughout the day, for a few days or until pain goes away. [/QUOTE]
