I've had four trigger finger surgeries (middle and pointer fingers on both hands), and just had a carpal tunnel release on my left hand. I think a lot of it stems from being a type 1 diabetic – poor circulation and then inflammation.
I would get the surgery if I were you. The recovery isn't really that bad. Trigger finger release heals up quickly and it barely impaired me. I think I was working (at the keyboard) the next day, just not using the repaired finger. I even loaded boxes and shit since we moved a week after the first one I had (both middle fingers, I do not recommend doing both middle fingers.. it seriously looked like I gave someone the double bird treatment and they broke both my fingers). The CT surgery was a little worse, but still not bad. I think it's finally back to 100% and I had the surgery late last year. I had some trouble working out with the CT surgery, it still gets a little sore/tight in a tendon by my thumb.
Getting old blows.
- Also, for some reason trigger finger recovery was 2x worse for my pointer fingers than my middle ones.mathinc
