Injections?: Steroid injections can work nicely, but if that fails surgical release is straight forward.

Surgery: Trigger fingers are a severe form of tendinitis of your finger flexor tendons. As the tendon enters your finger it passes through a small tunnel. As the tendon swells it gets stuck. It sounds like you have tried some tx. Like nsaids, & cortisone injections. Surgery can open the tunnel turning it into a trough so the tendon can easily glide. Bilateral hand involve my is very common.
