A member asked:
Can i take an anti inflammatory for trigger finger or should i see a doctor for treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Assessment: Cortisone injections may help improve function of the finger. An anti-inflammatory is more likely to help with pain. Do encourage medical assessment.
