If your trigger finger keeps getting stuck or snapping on you, all you may need is this one simple trick. It's frustrating. Trigger finger can cause things such as buttoning a shirt to feel like an Olympic event. What if I told you that all you needed was a band-aid, a simple and easy trick. I'm Dr. Jesse Dash, a hand surgeon and AI enthusiast, and I can tell you my experience after treating thousands of trigger fingers. Basically, all you need to do is put tape or a band-aid around this knuckle. It's called a PIP joint. And that's all the fix that you need. Many people think that you have to have surgery for trigger finger, but that's not the case. If all you need is a simple band-aid or something like that, then wonderful. Otherwise, seek out a hand surgeon and we can help tell you the other options available.
