How to solve the problem of "Trigger Fingers" in the Hands?

Several years ago I developed the problem of "Trigger finger" in both my hands. On either hand, if one of the finger is bent for any reason, I could not bring it back to the original position directly, I had to physically lift it with the other hand to bring it back. I then consulted my Doctor about it, he then explained that it is a problem of nerves inside my fingers, and that it could be solved by performing surgery inside the fingers. He told me to take an appointment for the surgery.

I became very afraid of surgery on my fingers, I thought that I will experiment with exercises on my fingers first. I started bending the fingers and lifting them back. A few days after these exercises, the problem vanished! Since then I have been doing these exercises, and I never had this problem again.
