I have been dealing with pain and stiffness in my right hand index finger (picking hand) for a few months. X-rays show no fracture but a lot of swelling. My PCP thinks it may be trigger finger. I am seeing an orthopedist in mid-January but I have a few gigs prior to that appointment I really can’t miss.
I hold the pick between my right thumb and index finger. I can get my index finger in the position to hold a pick, but after a 3-hr gig it is basically stuck in a bent position and swells up for a few days.
I have a few Dunlop Herco thumb picks. You can alternate pick with a Herco but you need to stabilize the pick with your index to keep it from popping off your thumb. Ideally I’d like a thumb pick I can alternate pick with using just my thumb. Does such a thing exist?
