That's the good news we wanted to hear!cutnstuf wrote:I had this happen a few years back in my right hand. The ring finger would lock into my palm and snap open. It slowly got worse until one day the finger locked so tightly that I couldn't get it open. I literally had to pull it open with the other hand. I had two rounds of shots which did no good at all. So, I underwent the surgery which completely resolved the problem to this day. It took a couple of months to rehab my hand to normal function and it's been absolutely fine since then. Good luck!

here is the link I posted earlier in this threadSquidbilly wrote:Just out of curiosity, what exactly is causing these finger lock ups? Is it some kind of extreme friction in the joints? I ask only because I've never experienced anything even remotely close to this.
Many of the trigger finger references refer to extending the index, middle or ring fingers. I have a condition, caused by rheumatoid arthritus, whereby I cannot flex my left fourth finger without a series of painful clicks. This was diagnosed as 'trigger finger'. Maybe the term refers to more than one condition. The tendon is catching on the bony growths that have developed. A cortisone injection did very little good and a hand surgeon advised against operating.Squidbilly wrote:Just out of curiosity, what exactly is causing these finger lock ups?
