Origins (Embroidery Design) by Origins Software Technologies, Inc.The working file for Origins is an .ASD file extension. When you generate stitches from an image, Origins creates outlines from the image which become the basis for the stitches. These outlines stay with the design in the .ASD working file.
When the tendons which bend the fingers (the flexor tendons) become irritated, they can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness. Tendon swelling interferes with the normal movement of the tendons and can cause the finger to and click, catch (triggering) or lock in position.
The swelling makes it difficult for the affected tendon to slide through its membrane (tendon sheath), causing the pain and stiffness associated with trigger finger. The swelling can cause a section of the tendon to become bunched into a small lump (nodule) at the base of the affected finger or thumb. If a nodule forms, the tendon can get trapped in the tendon sheath, causing the affected finger or thumb to become temporarily stuck in a bent position.
