Doing My Own Trigger Finger Surgery (Dr Henry David Nava Dimaano, FPOA)

Well, since the anesthesia from the carpal tunnel release surgery was still pretty much in effect (see associated vid, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwDfzpY7iTM) -- and since this locking ring finger has been giving me problems as much as the carpal tunnel median nerve compression symptoms -- I thought "might as well go ahead and release it before I start to feel the pain." As you'll see from the latter part of the vid, the proximal part of the flexor tendon complex clearly shows degenerative changes -- hence, that tendon nodulation that jams & locks into the metacarpo-phalangeal flexor tendon housing (otherwise known as the A1 pulley cavity).

damn dude you're tough even if you've got numbing which I am sure you did, but I just got this surgery on my thumb and I made sure I fell asleep, with you doing your own surgery your not only unsedated but your making the incisions!

@d36u9 Charlie is this little boy that bit his brother's finger. It's from a viral video on youtube and very popular on the internet.
