What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Finger?
My pointer finger on my left hand stiffens into a trigger position with severe pain. I rub it and try to relax it. It takes several minutes to stop freezing up and will usually cramp back up again within a few minutes. Any ideas on what s causing this?

Hi,
It might be an early sign of arthritis. We have to rule out other causes like sprain and contusion also. As of now apply warm compresses and take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
