Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
After a complete release of tight band in trigger finger one is expected to have good relief from the symptoms. However if the release was not complete, or you had a prior stiffness of the underlying joint, or you have a scar issue then you may have persisting pain or symptoms. You need to review with your surgeon to discuss the same.
