Very glad I could be of service, AJ. CBD seemed to help me, very little. Lawang oil did help, a bit, but the exercises really helped the most. (Lawang oil is very expensive, so it wasn't going to be in my long-range plans.)

Hmm,,,,,,, Did any of you read my post, in this thread, that offers a link to exercises that, for the most part, alleviated my trigger finger? In reading your subsequent posts, it doesn't seem like it. Curious, indeed.

Yes I most certainly did and thank you. I’m all for helpful physiotherapy

I'm sure you know this, but for those who don't. : Curved sopranos are cute, but notorious for going out of tune, unless you really get into constant practice and tweaking. Every sax player I ever had in my band played a straight soprano, and dissed curved ones. Straight sopranos do cause more problems with tendonitis and related maladies, because of their weight and the way they must be held.

No I didn’t know that. All I can say is that I LOVE the tone of my soprano saxophone and was disappointed in thinking that my injury was due to improperly holding it while playing. This was only part of it. I’ve recently discovered that each new iPhone I get is slightly bigger and I’ve been holding and typing with one finger at the same. This is also a big part of the problem. Between your exercises and modifying my practices I’m hoping I’ll resolve this because I don’t want to stop playing. It brings me such joy. I honestly didn’t want to trade this one or stop playing.
Thanks treeman.

I also have more problems with my fingers because of increasingly larger cellphones.

Glad I could be of service, K.
