Trigger Finger
My right hand ring finger recently started locking in the mornings, I know of this condition as my Dad also has it and he did a surgery. I am not having pain and this locking happens only in the morning. Both my hands bcome stiff after i wake up, later they get back to normal with no pain at all. I do not want to do any treatment or surgery, can I do something at home to treat this? I am in another country rightnow and have no insurance yet, so I cannot visit a doctor for few months. Please suggest something that I can do at home.
