Finger tips that close

They close down to the palm and take awhile to come back. The other day I was scared for ilt didn't pop back fast--sort of forced it. Ouch. Anyone know the cause?

I can't even sort if visualize what you're describing-- and I'm trying hard! Sounds very bazaar to me. Ha! Its apparently something I can't do.

Some suggestions of what might be causing this symptom: A new medication, low calcium (this does cause similar symptoms), ( R.) arthritis, stress/panic attack (hyperventilation can cause your hands to lock ) .

Could it be "trigger finger"? I've had that in three fingers, although not at the same time. Surgery is not all that bad. It is painful until you manually straighten your fingers out. Good luck. Hope you find relief.

I don't mean to scare you but that was one of my first symptoms of scleroderma. I truly hope that is not what is it. Are you having any pain in your joints or swelling feet/hands?

@halfpint1 For me, it's "trigger finger". Usually only happens in very cold weather, or during sudden weather changes. It is annoying, but I do NOT intend to have any kind of surgery. di

I had what they call "trigger finger" - middle finger would lock up. Tried many suggestions from friends, some suggesting surgery. I started rubbing pure emu oil on my hands and it really helped. My finger no longer locks up.

Depending on your age, my first thoughts are arthritis, trigger finger and carpal tunnel issues.

I have been worried as all heck about you girl. How are you, aside from the finger?

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

@halfpint1 Halfpint - did you ever get your cataract surgery, and if so, how did it work out???? You never came back with a report........ Hope you are okay with that.
