Diagnosis
Dr. Eby and staff can confidently identify trigger fingers without imaging. Although, X-ray and ultrasound can be helpful to rule out other similar conditions.
Treatments and Recommended Imaging
Start at home with resting the hand and finger. Try common over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen.
Come into the office to be seen after trying the treatments above. We can try a cortisone injection which can calm down the inflammation and prevent further symptoms. Unfortunately, the injection does not always cure the issue.
The solution with the best long-term outcomes is a minor surgical procedure.
