Painful Grip
Trauma to fingers and the repetitive use of fingers have both been suggested as potential causes of trigger finger. While overuse is not proven to cause the condition, pain during activities, such as gripping, is a recognized symptom.14‘Trigger Finger: Etiology, Evaluation, and Treatment.’ PubMed Central, 1 June 2008, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2684207,11‘Trigger Finger - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 20 Oct. 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/trigger-finger/symptoms-causes/syc-20365100
Pain while gripping or performing other motions may be the first symptom a person notices, and they may not feel discomfort during periods of rest. The pain associated with trigger finger can become more severe over time, eventually being noticeable without movement.3‘Trigger Finger.’Handcare The Upper Extremity Expert, 2020, www.assh.org/handcare/condition/trigger-finger
