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.
