Can lack of oestrogen cause trigger fingers and thumb?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I am not sure: Trigger finger is more common in women. Although the association of estrogen deprivation with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in postmenopausal women needs further study.

Unlikely: That is unlikely. Trigger fingers are very common and can be treated with an injection.
