Snapping Sensations
The trigger comparison doesn't stop with the sound that the finger makes. People with the condition may also feel a trigger-like, snapping physical sensation when flexing their affected fingers.5‘Trigger Finger.’ Harvard Health, 8 May 2015, www.health.harvard.edu/hands/trigger-finger
Trigger finger occurs when the tendons in a person's hand no longer move smoothly through their tendon sheath. If the sheath becomes swollen, a person's tendons may get caught during movement. The popping sensation is caused by the tendons being forced through a narrow space.10‘Trigger Finger.’ Northwell Health Orthopaedic Institute, 2021, www.northwell.edu/orthopaedic-institute/find-care/conditions/trigger-finger
