Trigger Finger is an inflammation of the tendons in your fingers or thumb, which causes them to catch or pop as you bend them. The condition is more common in women than men, and can make many of your day-to-day activities, such as dressing, typing, or even writing, difficult to perform without pain. The first step in getting relief from this condition is finding a trigger finger doctor.
Trigger finger can be caused by trauma to your hands, or by overuse, such as repetitive, forceful grasping. However, the specific cause of trigger finger may be unknown in many cases. Patients with medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and gout are more likely to develop trigger finger.
