Aromatase Inhibitors & carpal tunnel and trigger finger: Anyone?

Although my trigger fingers fingers started well after I finished Anastrazole. There have been more drugs to follow, I have had one trigger finger for years, right before the pandemic the doc put a cortisone shot in it, and made it worse. Now some years later it is awful and I have two more starting in the other hand. I would love to spin and knit again.
I hope you don’t mind if I give you the third degree now.😂 How did it go with surgery? Did the doctor acknowledge a connection to the drugs? Is there a risk it will return? How long had you had it before surgery?

@auntieoakley I had a trigger finger from taking Anastrozole. I researched and found this splint. It worked for me. I bought on Amazon.

I had a trigger thumb in 2022 before I got diagnosed or started any medications and I had surgery then. I haven’t had any issues with it since. I just recently had surgery on my middle and pointer and so far so good. I don’t know how you had it for years. It would wake me up at night, it was horrible. My surgeon said the only way to truly “fix” the issue. It’s not a bad procedure, it only took a few minutes after they numb you up. Recovery has been a few weeks.
