I had an injection for my finger that was locking.  It did improve, but still sometimes it feels stiff in the morning.

My tip would be to have an ice pack ready with you before you get home.  My finger was swollen and felt like it was on fire!

I had trigger finger. After two rounds of cortisone injections that worked for six months each time. I had to have trigger finger release surgery. 

That was six years ago. No problems since.

I'm not sure what this means.  I recently had a treatment on my rib which looked like a big shot but it delivered like a kind of sudden and quick jab -- not a needle.  The device made a clicking noise.  The chiro did this several times to my side and it left a bunch of small bruises.  It did help some. Is this what you are talking about?

Had several times for shoulder---no help at all.  Cortisone in hand for dupertene contracture was miraculous for several years.
