Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

All measures you have taken is right and appropriate. I advice you to take good care of all the things you are taking right now.

If even after a month or so if trigger finger is not released than you should think of surgical repair.

Remember that surgical repair is always a last option to take care for. I advice you should first try out manually if it's not possible than its surgery.

Physiotherapy always play a great role in the management of such case. Even after surgery doing physiotherapy can help you.

You should also think for electrotherapy. It is also a part of physiotherapy and helped a lot to many people.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
Dr Arun Tank
