TRIGGER FINGER
The tendons that bend your fingers run through a tunnel or sheath. Trigger finger is caused by a thickening on the tendon catching as it runs in and out of the sheath. The most common cause is tenosynovitis. You can often feel this swelling in the palm as you move the finger. The system is very similar to bicycle brake cable. If the wire becomes bent or rusty, the brakes work badly. There are two ways of treating the problem.
