Gwen, do you mean your finger is cramping/hurting? Maybe soak it in real

hot water, or keep hot compresses on it while resting. Hot helps my

muscles, but cold helps my nerves. LOL

If I'm not mistaken, I think I know what you are referring to. I

have, in the past, had experience where my fore or index finger would

tighten and cramp as if to curl toward the palm. It's been a little

while, and I do believe that improved eating habits and a little more

rest helps.

PS: I have contracture of one finger and another one starting in. I heard of

some people having a claw like hand, all the fingers have contracted.

Pepperbrammer, I also think I know what you are talking about. I

have had this problem with both hands. I have knots on all my

tendons so that my fingers can trigger. My right hand is now ok- we

did hypnotherapy on it. So now I need to do this with my left hand.

I went to Occupational Therapy and they made me splints to wear on my

hands at night. They also made me other splints to wear during the

day and this helps alot. The splints usually keep me from triggering

and allow my hands to heal. I am not to push or pull anything

because this causes my fingers to trigger. I have very little

muscles left in my hand now. The triggering really hurts and heat

does help. Sometimes I use warm water to relieve it and other times

I use a microwable " Bed Buddy " that can wrap around my hands. My CMT

doc said do not have surgery because it can never be corrected. You

might want to consider seeing an OT (Occupational therapist). Best

wishes- keep you chin up. You are not alone.
