What Causes Sudden Stiffness In The Middle And Pointer Fingers?
Hi,This morning my pointer fingers and middle fingers suddenly locked in absolutely straight. I ve been dealing with trigger fingers and had steroids shots recently on the right hand, but not the left. I ve never experienced this lock up before and wonder why it happened?

Dear patient
when trigger finger gets worse and in letter stages of disease fingers will remain straight and will not be flexed. that's what exactly happened to you. please consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby as soon as possible. You can take tab ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day for pain relief. Surgical release may be required.
