I’ve had it twice. Different finger on different hand. A rigorous regimen of non-steroidal anti inflammatories (aspirin, ibuprofen) and rest with mild stretching throughout the day had no effect so I scheduled appts. with hand doctor. Scheduling the appts. did the trick. Within one day of scheduling the condition went away both times.

For me, I think, minimizing the inflammation and not aggravating the tendons involved took about two months. Now I am careful to avoid repetitive motion such as using a screwdriver and/or a hammer: so far so good.

More than a few people told me it would just get worse with time. Not true in my case-twice.
