A member asked:
What can i do to alleviate the pain/stiffness from trigger finger until i see the doctor (wednesday) for a cortisone shot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice/NSAIDs: Reduce repetitive activity of the finger, gently ice it for 15 minutes 3-5x/day and take anti-inflammatories if these are safe for you. A cortisone injection tends to be very helpful. If I can help, then join my care team and virtual practice at www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes
