So when those pre-curved gloves just aren't enough anymore what is a person to do? Pre-curve your fingers of course! :D
Just got done having surgery on my throttle hand for what was diagnosed as trigger finger. Post surgery it turns out it was actually Dupuytren's Contracture/Disease. [sad] The misdiagnosis means that there will be another round of treatment after the surgery wound heals. [sad]

a hammer and a flat table should straighten it out.that will save on the doctors bill to they're cooks anyway and you could loose a foot or a kidney going to them.

Believe me, I've been wearing a splint even before the surgery to force the finger straight, not sure the hammer would solve the problem. It's painful to force it straight, and it doesn't last. As soon as the splint comes off the finger starts to curl over very shortly thereafter.
