Yes, I was hoping to get a half dozen or so in this Spring/Summer, but I cant even think about booking until I can move my fingers again.
Its Osteo Arthritis thats the problem, bone on bone with the tendons snagging and locking on the joints. The last time I went private, the Consultant said I neede to consideer the joint replacement scenario, but the results are not very encouraging once I investigated.
On a slightly brighter note, I harassed my GP last week about it, and within a week the June/July waiting time was shortened to a mid April consultants appointment, likely to lead to another series of cortisone injections a couple of weeks later, or possibly more trigger finger releases.
The problems wont disappear on their own, and the injections last less longer each time, eventually leading to the tendons becoming weaker.
But I keep reminding myself that there are many much worse off than me
