@drmikiortho: Trigger finger (stenosing tenosynovitis) is a common condition where a finger or thumb gets stuck in a bent position, snaps, or pops when straightened. It occurs when the tendon controlling that digit becomes inflamed and swells, making it difficult to glide smoothly through its protective sheath. 👉Common Symptoms • Catching or Locking: The finger gets stuck in a bent position or snaps ("triggers") straight. • Pain & Stiffness: Soreness in the palm near the base of the finger, which is often worse in the morning. • Palpable Nodule: A small, tender bump can sometimes be felt at the base of the affected finger. Causes & Risk Factors Trigger finger is generally caused by repetitive gripping, grasping, or vibrating actions. You may be at a higher risk if you: • Are between the ages of 40 and 60.Have underlying conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or gout.Frequently use your hands for strenuous or repetitive tasks. Treatment Options Mild cases can often resolve without surgery. A medical provider may recommend: • Rest & Splinting: Limiting aggravating activities and wearing a splint at night to hold the finger in place.Medication: Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories to reduce swelling. • Steroid Injections: A cortisone injection near the tendon to reduce inflammation and relieve symptoms. • Surgery: A minor outpatient procedure called a "trigger finger release" to cut the tight sheath and allow the tendon to glide freely. #handpain #ወሎ #የአጥንት_ህክምና #ወልድያ #ethiopian_tik_tok
