Thread: Hello from SoCal

  1. #1

    Default Hello from SoCal

    Getting ready to return to bowling after nearly a 19 year layoff due to "Trigger Finger" on the middle finger of my bowling hand. In the 19 years, I got old, weaker, and lost 130# and finally the trigger finger symptoms went away.

    I haven't set foot in a local center since the day I quit, and have been completely away from the game so I have a lot of catching up to do on the technological aspects of the game. I never thought I'd bowl again so I tossed most of my bowling balls over the years and only kept two. When I start and get my timing issues straightened out, then I'll be in the market for new equipment.

    Welcome. My brother in law had trigger finger and bowling did aggravate it. What helped him was accupuncture, he went for a few months and his trigger finger went away. Good luck with it.

    Thank you. I did the cortisone injection and the doctor backed out of doing surgery. When I aggravated it, it was like have a badly sprained finger for over two months. In hindsight I should have just drilled a ball to hold it with the forefinger, ring and pinky and kept bowling. Hindsight is usually 20/20
