TRigger finger: Trigger finger is the result of the tendon that moves the finger has gotten swollen (common during pregnancy) and is getting caught in its pulley. Treatments are conservative; oral anti-inflammatories, therapy and steroid injections. Surgical treatments include the open decompression of the pulley to allow the tendon to glide easily.

Yes: Yes it can be fixed.First stage is an inyection into the tendon sheath of cortisone plus anesthetic, that usually correct the majority of the trigger fingers, and if not then a simple surgical procedure will correct it.
