Hi
Trigger finger normally occurs due to a nodule in the pulley of the concerned tendon.
If you are having pain while bending the finger or if the finger gets stuck after bending it would be advisable to release the pulley through a small cut.
It will give immediate relief in the pain with no difficulty in movements.
Next Steps
Consult an Orthopedic surgeon for further guidance.
