My pinkie just suddenly starting doing this a few minutes ago and I have no clue why. I can move it fine, but when I bend it, it suddenly snaps to a further position. Like imagine these numbers are the position changing: 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11. Like it’s skipping to a further angle/position when I bend it.
I’ve just seen a video and it’s helpful, all you need is a plaster, or bandaid as it is sometimes called. Hope this helps.
It just started happening to my hand. When I wake up and I open my hand ( right ) the pinky, ring finger kind of snaps open instead of smoothly opening
@@Corzafade Hey I'm having same symptoms you mentioned 😢
@@anzu6895 yeah I still have it and its inconsistent. Some days it doesn’t do it but most days it locks a few times. Try to squeeze your hand tight and rub the bottom of your finger so it doesn’t snap open. From what I’ve researched on, you don’t want it to snap because of the tissue or something will make it worse? But I’ve gone to the dr and he prescribed me some pills to reduce the inflammation ( trigger finger is an inflammation ) tbh I’m not sure if it’s doing anything. I’ve just been wearing a hand brace so that my hand does not close all the way while I’m asleep because that’s when I notice my fingers locking the most. I usually my fingers curl at the end of the brace so it closes to an extent but not all the way. That’s my update on my hand at the moment
My pinky finger has been doing the same thing. Three days in a row now! Anyone know what to do?
Great explainer vid. I had my second lot of steroid injections this afternoon, I work 9-5 each day typing on a laptop, they advised me I should fully rest the hand and not even type for the next couple of days, would this really be the case ? Do you need to rest your hand to that extent after the injection? Might be a tricky one to explain to the boss...!
Wow I saw a doctor Locally and he said it would never go away and I have to do surgery. I told him I would like the steroid shot like he mentioned and he got mad! I guess he wasn't getting the big bucks for surgery. And I never went back to him agian for lying! My finger is just stiff and never locked up... Yet!.
I've had the steroid and it's done absolutely nothing
how is your finger now
@@Ivan_950 its pretty good, thanks for asking'
What you done to reduce stiffness? Suffering from same problem. Need help
I iced it regularly about two to four times a day. I took ibuprofen off and on along with a multivitamin and glucosamine and chondroitin. After about a year it went away and never had it agian. I wish you quick recovery my friend.
I get this pain at the base of my baby, ring, and middle fingers with the middle causing the most pain. I had tendon release surgery several years ago and was never able to open my hand fully post-surgery. A minimally painful cortisone shot at the base of the finger works well and can last up to 2 years. My new hand doctor does not condone more than 2-3 shots ever in a tendon so I’m in search of a new one.
I’ve had four trigger releases done on one hand and three on the other throughout the last ten years. In my experience, when one goes, the other finger follows on the opposite hand… told it may be my type 1 diabetes.
did you see any doctor? or just recovered automatically?
Will the sheathe heal on its own? If not, why do we need it. What is it for and will it cause problems later down the road?
I have tried the injection both times I have dealt with trigger finger and it did come back and I had to have surgery. I am planning a second surgery for this summer.
The injections never worked for me. I had five trigger finger surgeries. Two on one hand and three on the other within four years, and now I’m experiencing it again ten years later in both index fingers…. I’m told it may be associated with my type 1 diabetes.
How much is the cost of surgery?@GodisLovetoo
I work in live hang at tyson and this is a every week thing for me i need to see someone asap i just now trying to figure out whats wrong with my hands
Yeah, maybe this trigger finger would have been diagnosed over a year ago, but doctors gaslighted me. Saying there is nothing they can do, just take some pain medication and B/P medication. The doctors said that since my cervical neck has problems, the pain in my hands is normal, and I will live like this for the rest of my life. Both hand swell up like balloons every morning, and some fingers pop and lock, and pain is so tense that I wake crying every morning. And now my R ring finger will not move at all. I am scared to go to the ER. Can my PCP give the shot to help straighten my finger?
I woke up this morning pain-free, which was actually weird, and noticed my R ring finger would not move, and it was extremely swollen. But my other fingers were moving fine, except for my usual numb and tingling to the all fingertips on both hands, but the R ring finger nothing. The R ring finger is bent towards my palm, and it does hurt a lot when I tried to straighten the finger manually. It felt dead until about an hour ago it started swelling up, and it is becoming more painful to touch and when the pink moves, I think it because the finger is trying to reposition/straighten itself but can not. Ice burns my skin, I tried heat it did not help, and I can not take anti-inflammatories because of another medical condition. Any home treatments?
Are these shot very painful?
Yes, extremely! I’d rather have the surgery and get it over with.
@@GodisLovetoo, OMG,I agree that it’s the worst pain EVER! I have a high tolerance for pain, prior surgeries were a cakewalk. Injections in the pads of your hands, excruciating. 😢
Depends on your pain tolerance. It's quick, but the relief is wonderful. I don't want surgery, going for another injection in a few days
I don't think it's the pain tolerance. The first of couple of times I had it.I was fine with the paint but the last time I had it. I swear my ortho aimed straight into the bone, it was a so painful.
@@margaretjones7276- don’t they give you injection before surgery?
My middle finger has catching and getting stuck for around a year, but now my ring finger next to the middle is catching, but worse the knuckles are swollen and the ring finger is throbbing in pain. I have an idea that a certain action may have injured my tendons but why does my ring finger hurt and throb now? I couldn't believe that the pain woke me up and I had to rub some instaflex on it to relieve the pain. I'm worried because I'm a Freelance Florist and I need my hands to make Bouquets and Arrangements and cut Flowers.
The same 2 fingers on both my hands are doing this, started soon after I began weeding and clearing my garden. When finger bends it locks up and I have to take my hand and pullbit back up.
My left pinky started doing this like 2 months into lifting weights
Same, what's your update now?
same, I can't pop my 2 pinkies anymore. although it hasn't locked up yet, the range of motion is limited. right now im taking a muscle relaxant, and anti inflammatory, 2 cherry tart capsules a day with some cold therapy during the day and my fingers are showing signs of improvement. but then, why I go back to lifting weights they go back to being stiff in the morning and can't barely move.
@@gavandevirajabhinav5484 same thing I just deal with it now but it doesn’t happen when I’m lifting. It happens all day until I grip a metal bar.
same, did it fix itself ? I started going to gym few weeks ago and now have this.
I am also very close to being pre-diabetic.
I also have inflammation on my knee tendons.
:(
@@aneeshprasobhan in your case just cut sugar and salt. you gotta go bland diet. take cherry capsules as well and start the ice therapy.
Just recently started having my middle finger locked in a closed position when I just wake up. Hurts so bad trying to forcefully straightening it out. Its freaky.....I must be getting old. Ugh! Is there a home remedy for this? Cause you know what hospital would charge for this. Its insane!
I’m 16 I go gym 3x a week and run 4x a week and I just got this… is this bad my middle finger is locking up bad
i had a steroid injection for trigger finger yesterday, can i still go to the gym and do weight training?
Negative . Please wait a couple of weeks
Surprise you did not ask your Orthopedic doctor what you could and could not do.
I got trigger finger on both my thumbs, and I am terrified of needles and surgery idk wtf to do?? Can it heal on its own??? The pain bothers me alot
Let your doctor know about your concerns. If it is trigger finger, it won't likely heal on its own.
The steroid injection hurts for a few seconds, but what is that compared to total pain relief? Surely you can bear up for a few seconds of moderate pain to gain perfect pain free mobility again? I had my right thumb injected a year ago: never had any problem since. You can do this! Blessings and peace to you; Happy New Year.
What causes it?
What causes the pain?
I can’t think of a more painful place to have a needle than the palm of your hand. I had these shots twice. I’d almost rather have surgery!
Had two injections today in the sheath of my middle finger, it’s not pleasant but it really is not that bad.
I can’t play piano because of this, hopefully it can go away
I work in construction and 3 of my fingers locked up. Got injections in all 3 and it fixed the problem but after a year one of my fingers started locking up again.
Sama dengan saya alami, setelah itu saya operasi

@motiwisdom777 So far the painful stiffness has stopped.
@@kwitseo oh good to know that painful stiffness stopped.
@@kwitseo wish you good health and sending positive vibes and energy your way
@@motiwisdom777 Thanks, dude.
low carb fixes this. As low as you can go.
Thank You*
you are welcome. Hope it works quickly for you too.@@rosemarydaughter
I went low carb, very low carb, 20 carbs and below per day, and it works. It takes away the inflammation that is bothering you. I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't tried it. @Jasmineflower124
Explain
I done believe this. Carbs are a natural food source .
