Suggest Treatment For Soreness In The Index Finger

Hello. I am a 56 year old female. I have been experiencing some discomfort on my right index finger. Some call it trigger finger . At night time is when it really starts locking up and especially in the morning. It hurts when I start trying to unfold it. It s sore and I m unable to grip or open bottles. What is the best treatment for this or what am I experiencing? Thank you! Mary

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
As per your history is concerned first ruled out common disorders by taking PANCEF 200 mg two times a day for upto 7 days and take vitamin B12 inj 3 times weekly upto one month and repeat once a month afterwards.Do following investigations-
Full blood count with differential
Uric acid
RA & ASO
Plane X-Ray of finger joint
carpal tunel syndrome clinically(To do clinicaly confirm whether you have this one or not do it like this ,please make your two hands reverse PRANAM position and keep for 2 minutes if you feel pain or swelling then the test is positive ,and in the absense of it the test is negative)
First you do what i told as these are first line diseases .As mentioned by you as(Trigger Thumb and Finger ) ,it is a rare disorder ,we will go to it if other pathology is absent.(Thanks)
