Is it possible to have Trigger Finger in 2 Fingers at the same time?

You have had it a week why are your docs jumping straight to surgery

First are you sure it is trigger finger rather than just arthritis , does the finger jump.  Normally docs wait and watch for a while sometimes splinting the finger to see if rest helps, then you  have  a cortisone injection possibly followed by a second a few months later.  If none of that works then surgery as a last resort 

If it were arthritis then getting in on plus one finger wouldnt be too unusual

I have all sorts of athritis in my non dominant hand but only one finger triggers

I am  a patient not a doctor but to me it sounds too much intervention too soon

Happy to help more if I can

 

Ah OK that was not clear.  Good luck let us kniow how you get on

I had trigger thumb some years ago .Annoying and uncomfortable .However I had a cortisone injection into the thumb joint which cured it for some month .It did return but I did have a second injections which completely cured it ,so I don't understand why you sre waiting for an op .

Elle, I experienced trigger thumb early last year and went to the local walk-in centre.  They suggested splinting it.....but didn't have any splints!  I then saw a GP who offered me those little wooden sticks they stick in your mouth to check your throat suggesting that perhaps I could make the splints out of those!!  I then attended a meeting with a rheumatologist present who said if he'd had his needles with him he would have injected into the base of the thumb.  I then went to see my pharmacis, explained what was happening with my thumb and told him what had been suggested - he laughed, saying that both he and his brother had at different times experienced trigger fingers and they got better on their own.....eventually.  So I put up with my thumb triggering and having to straighten it without any treatment and it returned to normal of its own accord although it did take a few months.  I don't understand why surgery is being considered for you at this stage.  Try tackling your diet by including lots of oily fish which is very helpful with inflammation.

I have just had surgery on my thumb r/hand for trigger thumb but know you can have it in more than one digit as i had surgery on my l/hand before last xmas on both my index finger and thumb.Before the surgeon did my op's he gave me a steroid injection in all affected digits.
