I have difficulty opening my trigger finger in the morning. the muscle for it may be inflamed. i do emails like a machine. what is the cure for it?

Injection: Typically a stubborn trigger finger that repeatedly "sticks" or "clicks" and/or may be painful can be alleviated with a local injection of cortisone within the tendon sheath. This is a simple office procedure that can be performed by most orthopedic or hand specialists.

Injection or surgery: Inflammation of the tendon and/or tendon sheath causes triggering of the finger. The muscle is not a factor and the e-mails don't help. This is more common in diabetics. Steroids, oral or injectable, is a good initial treatment. The definitive treatment is surgical release of the a1 pulley, which is commonly called a trigger release.
