I'm not familiar. Elaborate? Baseball grip?"I play a bunch of golf and interlock my grip"
Well there's your problem! I always used the Ben Hogan grip.

Ah, watched a video. Hogan "overlapped". I've never tried it. I sure might. I just learned to interlock many years ago."I play a bunch of golf and interlock my grip"

I wish my shot would kick in, it's been 10 days.I've had trigger finger in multiple fingers on both hands.
My rheumatologist administers corticosteriod injections in the office when necessary. It takes several weeks for relief but it has proven to be long-lasting.
That is very encouraging Neal. Thanks a bunch, I needed to hear that.I have had trigger finger surgery on three of my fingers (two on the left hand and one on the right).
Before surgery, I couldn't play the guitar without pain, couldn't grip a hammer, couldn't squeeze water from a sponge. It was increasingly debilitating and painful.
I had surgery twice (got the "two for one special" the second time!). Surgery was minimally invasive, the recovery was quick and easy both times, and both hands now function without pain or any loss of strength or utility.
Just one man's experience, but surgery was the answer for me. I had shots before the first operation, but they did not provide relief.
Yes Charlie, mine has begun the popping or snapping when I bend it. And thank you sir. I will report back after Thursday.I have it, West. Mine doesn't cause me any pain though. It just results in some stiffness and "snapping" back and forth to position with a couple of my fingers.
I do hope the steroids help you, but I have heard the surgery is quite effective if you have to go that route.
That's what I told the surgeon the week before last. I told him all of my symptoms, then finished with "Or maybe at 65, rigor mortis was finally setting in"?I have no pain but the pinky and ring finger will lock in the curled position. Need to pry them open. If I am hanging off a windowsill in an earthquake it may come in handy
Well, I guess no pain is relative. They are sore.
Not to veer but I have an issue with my right big toe. I was concerned as I was going on a two week backpacking trip. The xray showed what looked like a rhino horn. Forgot the name of the issue but I thought it had mortise...like Rigor mortis..in it.
Not horribly painful, and it will eventually "freeze".
Getting old stinks....but it beats the alternative!

That is a fact. It seems like every day you find a new pain, something different aches. You get a stomach ache and ask yourself....is this it.....cancer? Or a chest pain and just know your ticker must be a gonner. Then a few days later, that pain subsides and something completely different hurts. With me it's just my neck, knees, elbows, back, fingers, wrists, feet, or hips. I decided a long time ago that I'm going out kicking and screaming though. I'm going to get every damned mile I can out of this body.Yeah, getting old isn't for sissies, for sure. I think the foot equivalent of trigger finger is hammer toes. At least I'm pretty sure. Maybe.
Nope. There is a barb sticking up and forward from the toe joint. Like a rhino hornmif viewed from the side.
A lady I know had surgery to correct something like that. I'm not sure of exactly what she had, but I think they called it something like splay feet.Nope. There is a barb sticking up and forward from the toe joint. Like a rhino hornmif viewed from the side.
Stillpretty good looking feet tho!
Yes sir, I hear you, and understand the grip. It's just that I've held a club this way since I was a kid, and am afraid to change grips. I certainly wouldn't want to try on the course, but I will give it a try at the range and see how it goes. If it saves my finger, then I'd be all for it if I can do it. Seriously though, I may have to give it consideration as I really do believe my grip is what's causing all of this. It would almost be like trying to find a new finger style pattern.West,
I tried the interlocking grip for a bit, but when I switched to playing right handed, and trying to take golf a little more seriously as a hobby, I read Ben's book and Harvey Penick's books. It just seemed like a more comfortable grip and one I could shift around as needed.
For anyone following along...
