I developed trigger thumb from anastrozole. I tried PT (where I basically was told to rest it) and a hand mold, but ended up with the hand specialist giving me a shot of kenalog in the thumb joint in 2019 and again in 2020. After a few weeks, the thumb returned to normal each time. He advised me that, if it returns a third time, he'll need to address it surgically by partially cutting its ligament. (I personally would prefer the kenalog as it also soothes the osteoarthritis in the thumb.)
