?What are the common symptoms of trigger finger condition

Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, or a popping sensation in the affected finger or thumb, particularly when bending or straightening the digit. Patients may also experience difficulty in fully extending or flexing the finger, and in severe cases, the finger may become locked in a bent position.

?How is trigger finger condition diagnosed and treated

Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination by a healthcare professional to assess finger movement and presence of any nodules or swelling along the tendon sheath. Imaging studies such as ultrasound may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options range from conservative measures like rest, activity modification, splinting, and anti-inflammatory medication to more invasive options such as corticosteroid injections or surgical release of the affected tendon sheath. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and individual patient factors.
