I developed a trigger finger on my right hand ring finger. At times it was very painful and was totally annoying. I showed it to my doctor who offered to send me to a specialist and surgery was a possibility. I researched it and decided to wear a splint that kept it rigid. Since it tended to "activate" at night in my sleep causing considerable pain, I wore it at night. I did that for . . . I can't really remember how long. Eventually I noticed it seemed to be diminishing and has since gone completely away.
I haven't any any recurrences at all.
