Trigger finger?: Your description is somewhat vague, however it sounds like trigger finger. If you have had injections with only temporary relieve, you might be a candidate for a very simple procedure. See you doctor or a hand specialist for more information.

Trigger: If yo ahve had 6 shots in a finger and locking still ccurs and you have had trigger finbgers than it may be time for surgery. If you are talkling about muscular spasm and bo tox then discuss whether a formal tendon release or lenghtneng is inidcated.

Trigger finger: Generally, locking of the fingers or thumbs are caused by trigger fingers. This is a benign condition in which the tendon becomes entrapped around a structure called the A1 pulley. If this is painful, an injection or surgery can improve the symptoms. If this is not painful, you can live with this as long as you have full range of motion and full function. This should not be alarming.
