Have you had trigger finger surgery?
Can you tell me about your experience? I’ve been suffering with this for several months. I’ve had numerous PT sessions and have had 3 cortisone injections with temporary relief. My doctors will most likely prescribe surgery. Kinda freaked out about it though my PT says it’s minor surgery. If it’s minor though, why the general anesthesia?

Yes...and it's a minor surgery. They freeze the palm of your hand and make a small incision to open the area that is 'hanging up'.
I went back to work afterwards with no pain. It's been good now after 15 years. It's no worse than having a tooth pulled.

Not sure which...from my forearm down. They bandaged it and put it in a sling and I drove back to work. Office job and it was no problem. The next day was 'as usual' with no pain.
