A member asked:
Is ice an effective non-drug treatment for trigger finger alongside splint? how long to ice if it is? thumb is swollen at joint.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: because trigger finger is caused by chronic, not acute, inflammation. But trigger finger does not usually present with swelling. Ask your doctor if it could be something else.
