I have had half a dozen fingers do that, go to a doctor and get a steroid shot and it is gone in a couple of hours. And no surgery. Thought that was common knowledge?
A steroid shot won't fix this one. They're a pain reliever. They reduce swelling and inflammation but they don't fix the cause. My orthopedist gave me one in one knee and it worked great there. He did a nerve scan on my hand and he said steroids aren't going to prevent further damage.
