Trigger finger is a condition in which a patient is not able to extend a finger easily after flexing it. And on doing forced extension finger will bounce like trigger of gun with click sound. And that is why it is called as trigger finger. Solution for this is rest: don't frequently flex and extend finger let inflammation get reduced ice: apply ice for 15 min 3 times daily 3. Apply local ointment like volini if not resolved than go for physiotherapy they will give you modalities like ultrasound, laser for 2 - 3 weeks if again no improvement than you can do minor surgery in which just there is split of facia which is involved and one or two stitch that's it hope this will help you thank you.
