✋ Does your finger get stuck, click, or lock when you bend it? It could be Trigger Finger.
Trigger Finger (Stenosing Tenosynovitis) is a common condition in which the tendon that bends your finger becomes inflamed or thickened, making it difficult to move smoothly. As a result, your finger may click, lock in a bent position, or suddenly snap straight.
🚨 Common Symptoms:
✔️ Finger stiffness, especially in the morning
✔️ Clicking or popping while moving the finger
✔️ Pain at the base of the finger or thumb
✔️ Finger locking in a bent position
✔️ Weak grip or difficulty holding objects
👥 Who Is at Higher Risk?
🔹 People over 40 years of age
🔹 Individuals with diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis
🔹 Those who perform repetitive gripping tasks
🔹 Workers who frequently use tools, keyboards, or machinery
💡 Early treatment can prevent permanent stiffness and restore normal finger movement. Most patients improve with rest, splinting, medications, physiotherapy, or corticosteroid injections. In some cases, a simple surgical procedure may be recommended.
