My daughter is a hand surgeon now. We are so very proud. But I hardly know how to chat with her about her work. I thought maybe if I looked up some of the latest things in hand work, I might be able to draw her out more when we talk on the phone. She told me this week she is in a clinic where they just treat hand ligament injuries. Imagine that! Can you give me some tips on what to ask about? 34 weeks 2 days ago 177
I just got this very cool metal ring for a finger injury and I'm wondering if you've ever heard of it? It's called a pulley splint. Looks like jewelry. What does it really do? 34 weeks 2 days ago 203
I admit I had a little bit too much to drink last night. I woke up this morning in the hospital with a weird little contraption around my pinkie finger. Looks like some kind of metal cage. And the other hand is in a splint the nurse told me is a "clam-digger." It's Sunday and no one around to explain what the heck is going on. I've got a candy striper sending you this question. Hope you can respond while she is still here 35 weeks 1 day ago 202
Can you give me a quick tutorial on "trigger fingers" -- what is it and what causes it? I know I have this problem because I have diabetes but I'm looking for a little more information than that. 36 weeks 2 days ago 135
Have you heard anything about people with diabetes avoiding steroid injections? I have an ongoing problem with trigger finger(s) and was told to avoid steroid injections. Is this really true? 36 weeks 2 days ago 144
