Trigger finger: Can improve on its own, or with anti inflamm stories or an injection of cortisone and finally surgical release is usually very straightforward.

Yes: Splinting ( especially at night ), steroid injection into the tendon sheath and surgical release. These are in increasing order of success with surgery being almost 100% successful.

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.
