Stiffness
An individual with trigger finger may never experience the snapping sensations and sounds that characterize the condition. Some people only experience stiffness and a gradual loss of the ability to fully straighten and bend their affected fingers.
If someone avoids using their affected finger, the lack of use could lead to the development of proximal interphalangeal joint, or PIP, contractures and stiffness. PIP contractures can be defined as a reduction in the range of motion a person can initiate with their middle joint.[[14]8‘Noninflammatory Joint Contractures Arising from Immobility: Animal Models to Future Treatments.’ PubMed Central, 2015, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4515492
