TRIGGER FINGER TREATMENT IN IPOH

 

TRIGGER FINGER

DEFINITION

Trigger finger occurs due to inflammation of the tendons that flex your fingers, causing finger tenderness and pain. The condition limits your finger’s movement and can make it difficult to straighten and bend your finger.

 

CAUSES

Most of the time, it comes from a repeated movement or forceful use of your finger or thumb. It can also happen when tendons -- tough bands of tissue that connect muscles and bones in your finger or thumb -- get inflamed. Together, they and the muscles in your hands and arms bend and straighten your fingers and thumbs.

 

A tendon usually glides easily through the tissue that covers it (called a sheath) thanks to the synovium, a membrane that surrounds joints and keeps them lubricated. Sometimes a tendon gets inflamed and swollen. Long-term irritation of the tendon sheath can lead to scarring and thickening that affect the tendon's motion. When this happens, bending your finger or thumb pulls the inflamed tendon through a narrowed sheath and makes it snap or pop.

 

SYMPTOMS

·         a lingering soreness in the base of your thumb or another finger

·         a bump or lump around the base of your finger near the palm

·         tenderness around the base of your finger

·         a clicking or snapping noise with movement
