anyone suffer from trigger finger?

I have a mild case of it. Doc that did both of my carpal tunnel surgeries has told me that I have it. In my case he said it is partly because of the fact that I have extra skin in the palm of my hands. In my case he said surgery is pretty much the only fix. Seems like it has gotten better with age. When I was 23 or so my pointer finger & thumb would lock up in this painful half round shape...damn near bring a tear to my eye..

When I was going for therapy after the surgeries several of the exercises seemed to help, any chance of you going for therapy?
