I had shots on my trigger thumb about 6 weeks ago and it not working. should i get another shot or go for surgery?

Your choice: While there is little harm in trying the injections again, i usually tell my patients that is the injection has no effect, surgery is the best way to be sure that we fix the problem permanently. Speak to your surgeon about the risks and benefits of the surgery so you can make a choice you feel comfortable with.
