I'm not sure of your other problems but have been told that trigger finger can be caused by overuse. I just had a procedure done which took about 5 minutes and am now able to move my fingers freely. it's similar to open hand surgery but there's no visible cutting, just a small needle inserted through a pinhole. It's called Percutaneous Release and is virtually painless at least it was in my case. I was able to use my hand immediately and had no pain even after the freezing wore off. Ask you doctor about this. Good luck !!View Thread
