How Can Trigger Finger Be Managed?
Hi, I am a 72 year old woman and have noticed that my right ring finger is becoming trigger like while I am sleeping and in the morning it snaps back. I have a little arthritis is sever joints in my fingers on both hands. I am a vet. Should I seek help with my VA doc to treat this condition. Will it get worse? Is there anything I can take to stop or slow the progression?

Trigger finger if mild can be managed with the help of a splint. In case it is persistent then surgery will help.
