What is it?
If you have trigger finger, your finger may get stuck or locked after flexing. Trigger finger is caused by an inflamed tendon. You might notice a pop or clicking sensation in your finger. Your finger may also feel stiff.
In most cases, the cause of trigger finger is unclear. Sometimes, people who have another condition, like diabetes, arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome, may get trigger finger. The condition can also develop in people who use their hand for repetitive activities like using a screwdriver. Your GP will talk to you about the treatment options available.
