Surgical release: I don't generally prescribe pt for trigger thumb or trigger fingers . An injection in the A1 pulley can often help symptoms in the short term... But surgical release of the A1 pulley is the best treatment. Best of Luck!

Trigger finger : can respond to ice and antiinflammatories. However if the problem is persistent it's been shown that between 47 and 90% of trigger fingers get better with a single solitary corticosteroid injection In cases where persistent problems exist that are bothersome surgery can be offered but just existence of a click does not mean one needs treatment

Injection: Trigger finger is caused when an inflammatory enlargement of a flexor tendon causes it to get caught in the flexor tendon sheath as the finger goes through flexion and extension. In severe cases, the patient is unable to extend the finger at all. A steroid injection into the tendon sheath has an approximately 90 percent chance of resolving the problem with out surgery; if does not work, surgery.
