A trigger finger occurs when one of your finger tendons becomes swollen and inflamed and gets caught inside its tendon sheath causing the finger to get stuck in a bent position. It is often painful, occurs more commonly in the morning, and improves after moving the finger around for a while. Activities that require repetitive firm gripping increases the risk of developing a trigger finger. It is also more common in people with diabetes and in women.
