I have Trigger Finger. A year and a half ago, I didn't know it had a name. A teacher in my department had mentioned the condition with respect to her husband a couple of years ago. But last spring she had trigger finger corrected by surgery. I'm going in next Friday to have it corrected too.
You ask, 'what is trigger finger?' It is this weird condition where one to three fingers on your hand either "lock" bent or straight. In my case, I am often unable to open my right ring finger without using my other hand. I have difficulty openings jars and bottles. I also seem to be dropping things regularly. I hope that's part of the trigger finger. I also have a decreased grip strength in both hands. The trigger finger is also present in my left hand, but it isn't as annoying as it doesn't happen as often.
In 7 days, it'll all be over but the Vicodin...
