Hand & Foot :. trigger finger
A trigger finger occurs when the motion of the tendon that opens and closes the finger is limited, causing the finger to lock or catch as the finger is extended.

The cause is not always known, but people with certain medical problems, such as diabetes and arthritis have more frequent occurrences.

Non Surgical Treatment Rest, OTC Pain Medications and/or Splints for the finger Surgical Treatment To prevent permanent stiffness, surgery may be recommended.
