Trigger Finger Symptoms
Other identifying symptoms include:
- Painful clicking or snapping with the bending or straightening of the finger
- Finger stiffness, especially in the morning
- Popping or clicking with finger movement
- A bump or nodule at the base of the finger
These symptoms are generally mild at first, but steadily get worse over time. The condition can also affect the thumb and can occur in more than one finger at a time and/or present symptoms in both hands. Trigger finger is caused by inflammation, irritation, and swelling of the tendon sheath that over time leads to scarring and thickening that impacts the tendon’s natural movement through it. The locking symptom—and associated pain—is a result of the finger tendon getting caught or pinched in a compromised sheath.
Any condition that causes inflammation, irritation, and swelling in the hands can lead to trigger finger, though it’s more common in women than men and typically affects older people starting at about age 40. Diabetes, gout, and rheumatoid arthritis have been identified as underlying causes, and the condition is more common among those whose jobs or pastimes require repetitive finger movements, such as musicians, factory workers, and farmers.
