A member asked:
I was prescribed prednisone 40mg daily for trigger finger/tendinitis. is it safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not effective: I personally doubt that Prednisone has any value in a trigger finger and i would hesitate to use that high a dose for any period of time. A trigger finger usually will respond better to a local cortisone injection. Refractory cases need a simple surgical release.
