My hand doc acted almost surprised I knew to call my finger a "trigger finger" and he said he almost always does the steroid injection first, before surgery becomes a option.

He asked my pain level on the 1 to 10 scale and I said 0.25 or less. Virtually no pain, but it will never just spontaneously heal. So lets try the easy option first, before it gets painful. I really don't want to put my dominate hand out of commission for weeks.

The shot is uncomfortable, but not near as bad as the dentist shot of Novocaine to the gums.
