WHat Causes Stiffness And Pain On The Ring Finger?
I'm having trouble with my right hand (fingers) stiffness, pain, ring finger at times is stiff and looks different. I have lung disease. Less strength in the right hand. Could this be clubbing of the fingers, I'm not sure what clubbing is, but they check my hands when I go for my appointments. Can you explain clubbing to me?
Thank you,

clubbing is swelling in of fingers at nails ,
it reflects lung or cardiac pathology.
stiffness and pain in ring finger may be due to trigger finger
