5. I took a different approach

Had it in my right ring finger. Clinic referred me to a hand specialist, who wanted to do surgery immediately. I decided to first try homegrown physical therapy - just massage and gently working it myself. A few weeks later it opened and is fully functional, although not perfect.

I’m not recommending this approach for everyone, as every case is different. I would, however, recommend avoiding surgery unless it’s the only choice. Thanks for the tip, tho. If it comes back I’ll try the tablets you recommended.
