What can you take for trigger finger at home well i got diabetics and i never had surgery done so what can you do at home for it can you tell me pleas?

Unfortunately: trigger finger cannot be "treated" at home (although in mild cases ice may reduce the symptoms) Surgery is not the first step...an injection of cortisone may help. (with careful control of your blood sugar!) Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
