### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing some discomfort and stiffness in my fingers, especially when trying to bend them. It seems like my finger sometimes locks in a bent position too.
### Doctor: It sounds like you may have trigger finger. In order to properly manage this condition, we will need to perform a few medical tests. These will include wound care management, other therapeutic procedures, and physical therapy exercises to help increase flexibility and range of motion in your fingers. We may also need to apply a splint to support the affected finger, and an occupational therapy assessment may be necessary to determine if you need speech therapy. In some cases, injections and aspirations of muscles, tendons, bursa, joints, and soft tissue may be required, as well as decompression peripheral nerve treatment.
