I apologize, this thread will be short because my typing skills have been reduced to 1/2 thanks to 'Trigger Finger'.

I've been diagnosed with Trigger finger in my right middle and ring fingers. Basically, when I flex my fingers to clench my fist, the middle knuckles pop. It is caused by the tendons swelling up too large for the joints, so when they are forced through the joints it causes "popping".

I now wear a double-splint and take Aleve to reduce swelling. Has anyone ever had this or a similar experience?
