Trigger finger on 3rd finger. shot helped for 8 wonderful weeks now it's back! should i do another shot or just do surgery? kind of worried .

Trigger finger: Problem is created by overuse of the involved digit. It usually will improve by lessening the irritating source. This can be accomplished by decreasing the amount of time using that finger. Using NSAIDs , splinting the finger in extension at nite can also help. Try those first before another injection and or surgery.
