What are some good remedies for trigger finger syndrome?

Effective nonsurgical remedies for trigger finger include anti-inflammatory medication, night splints, steroid injections, and ceasing or changing activities that cause the condition, according to the American Society for Surgery of the Hand. Surgery on the pulley at the base of the finger can quickly restore finger motion.

Trigger finger, or stenosing tenosynovitis, is a painful condition where the hand pulleys thicken, making it difficult for the tendons to glide through, explains the ASSH. Diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and repeated gripping are the most likely causes of the condition, which expresses as pain, popping, limited finger movement and a catching sensation.
