@doctor.nick1: Trigger finger is basically like tendinitis of the flexor tendons. Specifically, we call it “tenosynovitis” since it affects the lining of the tendons known as tenosynovium. 🚨 It's most commonly from overuse, but I often see it in patients with autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or those with diabetes. 😷 Treatment includes rest, activity modification, splinting, oral anti-inflammatories or even topical ones like topical CBD, corticosteroid injections, and if all else fails surgical release of the A1 pulley. 🧐 Have you ever had a trigger finger? If so, let me know your experience in the comments. 👉 Comment NEWSLETTER for more similar health information, and I'll send you a link to sign up for my free weekly newsletter 🗞️ #triggerfinger
