I have "trigger finger". Has anyone tried this for pain in the hand or know if it's OK to use this on hands?

I purchased it for back pain and shoulder pain and it is exceptional and relieves the pain, but not sure how it would work on hands.

The only places you cannot use this is on the neck, head and close to the heart. I use it on my feet and it feels wonderful. Have not used it on my hands, but I don't see why you could not. Hope this helps!

I think it would be difficult to use on fingers--the pads are too big. Maybe if you put one pad on multiple fingers, and the second pad on your palm or wrist. I have trigger finger, too, never tried the TENS device on it. Taping the problem joint helps me. I'm going in for a shot today.

yes you can use it on your hands. Just not on your neck so not to screw with your hart or longs.

Similar to Rose Ann's experience above...I have severe osteo arthritis pain in my right hip and also rheumatoid arthritis in my right fingers. (I'm a 76 yr old retired golf professional.) I'm able to personally apply the Penetrex to my hip comfortably, but while I'm awaiting relief from the hip pain I've noticed the pain in my right hand and fingers has been greatly reduced. This cannot be attributed to a placebo because I wasn't even thinking about what was happening in my right finger joints when I was applying the Penetrex to my hip! Go for it!

I have only tried it on my hands and it works really well. I think it would probably work great on gloves but I haven't actually tried that. Hope this helps.

It does work for trigger finger because it limits the bending of the finger. I was getting trigger finger caused by a swan neck knuckle on my index finger a physical therapist recommended this product and they work great. Help with any knuckle problem. You wear one way for a swan neck knuckle and the opposite way for a boutonniere knuckle both of which according to the therapist cause trigger fingers. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure but if I were you I would wait until the trigger finger symptoms subside. Then I would wear the splint when I resumed the weight work and see what happens.

I am careful when using something like this. I only use it on occasion. Yes, my hands feel the impact, if I exceed an occasional use. I think this is a product that is best avoided for those of us that have hand issues--or possibly if we are collecting social security because we qualify with our age. :O)

I would not feel good if I said "yes." I only used it on my toenails. The packaging also does not say anything about using it on fingernails. I would contact the company for safety measures. Good Luck!

Yes, I have had pain in my right hand and wrist that has been increasing for the past three years. Before I found the Evoluent mouse, I tried just using my regular mouse with my left hand, but eventually I starting having pain in both hands from regular mouse use. I have been using the Evoluent mouse for a little over a month, and it has made a noticeable difference. Now, I do not have pain in my hands unless I use a computer without my Evoluent mouse and have to revert to a regular mouse or touchpad.

I think you misunderstood me. From reviews I read the gel is supposed to keep it from shocking your hand while you are holding it but still shock the part of the body that you're using it on. Does it shock your hand while you are holding it and using it on your body? I want to use it for neck pain.

Hello... My partner has Trigger Finger in his thumb, and chooses not to lift any weights with it. He said it's fine for normal day to day use.

Try it. It can't hurt. I use it when my wrist is bothering me when I play tennis.

I mainly use this for back & neck pain, but you could rub it on your fingers. The relief will only be temporary. The concern would be if you rub your eyes with your fingers. Sting! I honestly wouldn't try it on the fingers due to that.

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

I'm age 63, and I have joint pain, BUT, I can still use my little can opener. Each person who has problems with their hands might be different. I say buy one and try it, if it causes you pain to use it give it to a family member. They are so reasonable it would be worth the money. I really love them, I carry one in my purse on my key ring.I hope that helps you! Lady Survivalist -

I just tried it on my pinky and it's doable. I haven't tried really using it yet,but for the most part it's keeping it from bending if you're having trouble with a trigger finger. Its adjustable so it should work

I'm on a county honor guard. Found the trigger finger difficult to use on a trigger. I did get medium size and think a large might have worked. But they are stiff and need using before they might work.

It cured my trigger thumb - completely. Two weeks ago I could not use my thumb at all, it was too painful. I had to wear a splint at all times. Doctor told me if cortisone shot didn't work I would need surgery. Today I am pain free and my thumb is completely flexible. I hope more people will start to realize the planet already provides everything we need to stay healthy; once one is open to that idea, everything else follows.
