It's annoying since when it flares up your grip in that hand is weaker. Let me know how you make out. Maybe I'll get my trigger fingers fixed. I thought it would just flare up again so I put it off.
I have never had anything done with my fingers. Over time, I've learned how to hold them and how not to let them snap very often. I also have RA in my hands - the meds I'm on (sulfasalazine and naproxen) may be helping the trigger fingers; I don't know. Much like the RA, the triggering comes and goes . . . and I've learned to live with it. If the trigger surgery would help the RA, I might go for it . . .
