My husband has been diagnosed with several "trigger fingers" He was having trouble with dropping things. They don't give him any pain, but they are annoying as they cause the fingers to sort of lock up. Apparently it is caused by small nodules that can be removed thru surgery. Of course, we are skeptical of surgery. Could this be a form of TMS? We have not seen it mentioned in any of the books or on the forum. Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks

I think it could be. They are often mentioned in the RSI literature, and RSI is a form of TMS.
His could be something else, it is hard to know - but surgery would not be my first thought either.

Thanks for both of your replies. Good advice. He does have the nodules so it most likely is "real". He is not diabetic. But it sounds like a cortisone shot would be a good first step before trying surgery.

I had trigger finger surgery twice ...different fingers, different times.
Both times worked great.
That was about as "minor" as surgery can get. Done with local anesthetic, very small incision.
Both now over 15 years past, with no recurrence or issues.
