Anti-inflammatories: Any anti-inflammatory( aleve, (naproxen) advil) may help with your trigger finger. If treating with anti-inflammatories is not helpful then see your physician as an injection with a steroid will usually help.

Some: Resting the finger may be enough to resolve the problem. Splinting to keep your finger in a neutral, resting position may help. Nsaids or Acetaminophen can be used to relieve the pain. Steroid injections can cure if done early enough. Surgery has a high success rate.
