The cortisone injections into the knuckle joints have not lasted as long as previous ones, just 3 months down the line and the pain and restricted movement have returned. After having this treatment now for several years, I fear the impact lessens with time. Previously, the benefits lasted 9 to 12 months. Trigger finger is now present in the right hand first finger too. The combination of a working life in engineering and old age are catching up with me I fear. Its very frustrating as I was on the point of purchasing another bike, having decided on a Street Triple 765 r. Until, that is, I became aware of the TFT screen problems, so switched to the 675r. Now though, its on the back burner as I wait for treatment as I'm reluctant to cough up for a machine I may not be able to ride. I expected to have to convert the clutch to hydraulic anyway, but I think the sensible thing to do is get the hands working again first
