Morning Stiffness and Pain

A person with a trigger finger may find that their symptoms worsen after periods of inactivity. Waking up with a locked finger can occur, and as the day progresses, the finger can loosen up.13‘Trigger Finger and Trigger Thumb.’ Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, 2021, www.chop.edu/conditions-diseases/trigger-finger-and-trigger-thumb

Individuals with the condition can experience discomfort in the metacarpophalangeal, also known as MCP joint, and stiffness that's worse in the morning. MCP joint stiffness is associated with other maladies, such as arthritis, so individuals who experience this symptom should see a doctor for a diagnosis.2‘MCP Joint Arthritis.’ Handcare The Upper Extremity Expert, 2015, www.assh.org/handcare/condition/mcp-joint-arthritis
