I've had two trigger finger releases because the fingers would lock and I would have to physically straighten them.
My fingers are not as strong now but at least they work.
I have potential for trigger finger in the rest of my fingers as well because the tendons are frayed in all of them (20 years as a chef and meatcutter).
They tried doing a hydrocortizone shot first and I tell you pass on that if they offer it.
It hurt more then the fingers did.
But make sure you take care of your hands.
By working even with the trigger finger and carpel tunnel I have damaged mine forever.
I can't do the work I did for so long and for a while I thought I wouldn't even be able to hold a pencil again.
