Feature
- A snapping or popping feeling when you move your fingers or thumb. It might feel like your affected digits are “catching” or getting stuck as they move.
- Pain and stiffness when flexing your fingers or thumb in toward your palm.
- Soreness in your palm near the base of your fingers or thumb. This pain is usually worse when you’re gripping or grasping something.
- Swelling or a tender lump in the palm of your hand.
- Your fingers or thumb locking (sticking) in a flexed position. You might need to use your other hand to gently push your fingers to straighten out.
Description
Surgery for trigger finger is done to increase the space for your flexor tendon to move. Your flexor tendon is a tendon in your fingers that is activated by your muscles to pull on the finger bones. That allows your finger to bend and flex. After surgery, the finger can bend and straighten without pain.
