See a hand surgeon: Trigger finger is very common and can be treated with steroid injections. These can be done in the office and have a very good chance of resolving the triggering. If these are ineffective, a small outpatient operation will be. I see a lot of trigger fingers and do a lot of injections but very few operations: the injections are quite effective.

Trigger finger: am respond to ice if it is painful and swollen in the palm. Midl heat if it is stiff and locking without swelling, massage of the palm, topical anitinflammatorires placed in the palm and gentle not forceful range of motion, How ever the clincal presentation or severity of trigger finger varies a lot i.e. they are not all the same. If one tries these and fails see a hand doctor
