If there is swelling in the fingers, then do not wait long
Stenosing Tenosynovitis commonly known as Trigger finger is a condition in which a finger gets locked if we try to straighten or bend it. It can affect any of the fingers.
What is Trigger finger?
Bands of tissue called pulleys attach finger bone to flexor tendons, and together they are responsible for movement of fingers. Trigger finger occurs when there is inflammation or scarring in these pulleys and in or around the tendon sheath of flexor tendons. This results in the finger’s inability to move smoothly and there can be pain, stiffness, swelling and trouble flexing the finger.
