Trigger finger

Dealing with a Trigger Finger

For many people the issue is more of an annoyance as it does not stop them doing the things they need to.    

• Most mild cases recover over a few weeks without treatment. 
• You are encouraged to continue using the hand as normal. 
• If your finger or thumb are getting stuck in a bent position and you have to straighten it using your other hand, please contact your GP practice.
• Persistent triggers usually settle with a steroid injection. 
• In severe cases surgery can be offered.
