Re: trigger finger

Myra, I'm so sorry this is so rough for you, for me, it's an annoyance rather than a problem and can live with it if I have to as it's surely better than the alternative which may be cancer.
So far I'm clear and have no idea if this is due to arimidex/herceptin or chemo but anxious to remain on this med just in case it's the one keeping me NED!!!

Btw have you tried Lyrica?? I was prescribed this when first I complained to my onc, I did'nt take it for long as it has it's own side effects but you may feel it's worth a try!
