Trigger Finger(s)?

[thx1138]

My thumb gets stuck a lot, and makes a big clicky noise when I move it.

At least three of my fingers get stuck in the closed position, when I wake up in the morning, I have to use the other hand to straighten them out on whichever hand the stuck fingers are on I cant move them on their own accord.

I think I have "Trigger Finger". Which at least sounds cool.

Anyone else have this problem?

Going to see doc in the morning, cos it's been getting worse over the past months

I haven't but my wife had a middle finger that got so bad she had the operation.

That was a few years ago....It's started sticking again.

I am glad she doesn't finger my bum.

eek. don't want an op, would lose work, hope maybe an injection or some super strength anti inflammatories

[Islander]

I get it from time to time in my right hand ring finger. I can usually tell when I need to be careful and just avoid gripping anything too tightly. It has only given me an anxious moment once when it locked so tightly I thought it wasn't going to straighten again. A bit of careful massage and patient effort saw it right though.

I think you can get steroid injections for it although I've never actually asked.

I've developed it in my right hand, middle and ring finger, been like it for a couple of months. Bloody painful in the morning, but it loosens up as the day goes on. Ibuprofen raises my blood pressure, but I've just started a two week course to reduce the swelling and give the tendons a chance to recover. 90% of my work means if I'm not using the mouse, I'm typing, so that doesn't help.

An op would mean my right hand would be out of action for a while, and a fucked back means I can't wipe my arse with my left hand. Gonna need a sponge on a stick.

I have it in my right middle finger.

Got it in the deep freeze of 2010 repeatedly hacking at compacted snow and ice with a spade.

Worse first thing in the morning then usually eases up after a short while.

Count yourself lucky... if I hold a wrench wrong I usually end up dislocating some fingers rather than loosening a bolt

Interesting sensation having your knuckles injected... Felt like an elephant was stood on my hand!

(RA not Trigger Finger).

[bhinso]

I had one of these, and it consisted of 4 hours of pre 'op' bureaucracy (signing forms promising not to die, etc. etc.) and the 'op' lasted about 30 seconds.
