Understanding Trigger Finger
What is Trigger Finger?
Trigger Finger, medically known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a condition where one of your fingers or thumb gets stuck in a bent position and may “snap” when straightened. This happens when the tendon responsible for moving the finger becomes inflamed or swollen, making it difficult for the tendon to glide smoothly through the sheath surrounding it.
Common Causes
- Repetitive Movements: Engaging in repetitive gripping motions, such as typing, using tools, or playing instruments, can increase the risk of developing Trigger Finger.
- Medical Conditions: People with diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory conditions are more likely to develop Trigger Finger.
- Hand Overuse: Prolonged use of the hands for activities that strain the tendons can lead to inflammation.
- Gender and Age: Trigger Finger is more common in women, especially those aged 40-60.
Recognizing the Symptoms
- Finger Stiffness: Especially noticeable in the morning or after periods of inactivity.
- Snapping or Popping Sensation: A noticeable “snap” or “click” when straightening a bent finger.
- Tenderness or Pain: Pain at the base of the affected finger, particularly in the palm.
- Locked Finger: In severe cases, the finger may become stuck in a bent position and unable to straighten without assistance.
- Swelling or Lump: A small bump or nodule at the base of the affected finger or thumb, where the tendon is inflamed.
