Most machinists/tool makers are intimately familiar with the medical condition known as trigger finger. I've had all eight fingers surgically released plus carpel tunnel on both wrists. I recently learned it can return on previously repaired digits. 
My right index finger started triggering again along with both thumbs.
Saw the orthopedic PA at the Evansville VA Clinic this AM and am now scheduled with one of the orthopedic surgeons on Dec 1. The PA told me surgery is usually scheduled a week after the appointment with the surgeon. So here we go again. Fortunately the PA was very receptive to my input especially given I've been down this road before & I have taught ergonomics. I'll have the surgery there at the Evansville Clinic rather than having to travel to Marion IL.
