, it occurs six times more often in women than men.
Board-certified orthopedic surgeon Jonathan Shults, MD, and his team at Coastal Empire Orthopedics in Savannah, Georgia, can help you understand your risk for developing this condition and what you can do if it occurs. Dr. Shults provides expert care for all patients who develop trigger finger. With proper treatment, you can resume normal activities and prevent a recurrence.
Trigger finger, also called stenosing tenosynovitis, affects the tendons that control how your fingers bend and flex. With each finger, a tendon slides back and forth through a sheath as your hand flexes and grips. Each sheath acts like a tunnel to keep your tendons in place.
If a tendon or the sheath becomes irritated or inflamed, the tendon won’t slide easily through the sheath. Instead, the tendon can get stuck, and the affected finger won’t go back to a straight position.
If your finger remains stuck, you may have to use your other hand to help release it. You may also experience a clicking or popping sensation when the tendon moves. Any pain, stiffness, and swelling may be worse in the morning. Symptoms of trigger finger can also include a lump or swelling in the palm of your hand.
Why does trigger finger occur more often in women?
While more women than men develop trigger finger, there’s no conclusive evidence that indicates why this occurs. The fact that women’s hands are typically smaller than men’s may mean they’re more likely to grip tools or instruments in ways that allow the condition to easily develop. Participating in tennis and golf, as well as hobbies or jobs that involve repetitive motions, may also put women at a higher risk for developing trigger finger.
Other factors may also contribute to higher rates of trigger finger among middle-aged women. A recent study in Japan examined the relationship between hand and finger disorders and the drop in estrogen levels that occurs during and after menopause. The study suggested that lower estrogen levels may contribute to the swelling of the membranes in the sheaths surrounding the tendons, resulting in trigger finger.
Having specific diseases can also put you at a higher risk for developing trigger finger. You’re more likely to develop trigger finger if you have rheumatoid arthritis, a disease that occurs in about three times as many women as men.
What is clear is that repetitive use of the hands can worsen symptoms. Gardening, pruning, clipping, and other tasks that involve gripping movements can contribute to its occurrence.
What noninvasive treatments work for trigger finger?
When these conservative options don’t work, you may benefit from a steroid injection at the base of the affected finger. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may need a second injection after six weeks.
Can surgery help trigger finger?
Percutaneous release involves the insertion of a needle into the tissue surrounding the tendon. With ultrasound guidance, Dr. Shults uses the needle to break apart the constriction interfering with the smooth motion of the tendon.
Open trigger finger surgery involves making an incision, then opening up the constricted area of the affected sheath so the tendon can glide smoothly. This procedure typically restores movement immediately, though full recovery can take up to a month or more.

If you have nothing better to watch.
Audiences are still looking at the stars, but nowadays they often do it from the gutter of films like Anger Management.
What is fundamentally wrong with Anger Management is that, try as they might, the two stars have absolutely no comedic or dramatic chemistry together, and so eventually the audience gets slightly bored with them.
There are moments when the laughs come thick and fast, but just as many where the dream team just aren't connecting at all.
The quality of Adam Sandler's track record dropped considerably after Click. Anger Management was released in the latter half of his glory days, and my god, is it hilarious. Sandler, a notoriously goofy and funny actor is paired with the legendary dramatic actor Jack Nicholson. On paper, they're an unlikely duo, but go incredibly well together on-screen. Dave (Adam Sandler) meets Dr. Buddy (Jack Nicholson) on a plane. Afterwards, circumstances bring the two together and Dave undergoes Buddy's anger management program. What makes it so hilarious is that Dave is always calm while Buddy gets outraged over something as minor as having his eggs cooked the wrong way (followed by him slamming the plate against the wall). It's worth pointing out that almost every single line is memorable and quotable.  Absent are the Sandler veterans like Steve Buscemi and Rob Schneider, but they're replaced by a huge number of cameos; from Derek Jeter to ex-mayor Rudy Giuliana to Heather Graham and Woody Harrelson, both of whom have the funniest bits in the entire movie. Some may be turned off by the love triangle between Nicholson, Sandler, and his character's girlfriend (played by Marisa Tomei) which is cheesy and cliche. The twist the plot is hinged on is a lazy, easy way out for the writers... but you're not watching it for the plot. You're watching it for the ridiculously profance lines and actions of Jack Nicholson and the ironically innocent way Adam Sandler reacts to them. Over the 13 years since it's 2003 release, I've seen Anger Management countless times and every viewing is funnier than the last. This is easily my favorite Adam Sandler movie.
Though not entirely funny, Anger Management is a solid and fun time, due too it's two hilarious leads. Adam Sandler does what he does and his an appealing guy, but it is Jack Nicholson who will make you laugh the most, his comedic timing is excellent and great, he really nailed it. The script was not great but good, a lot of funny moments, Marisa Tomei was cute, Sandler and Nicholson were hilarious, nothing but a fun time, its worth the watch if you like comedies.
Very irritating movie with a good ending.

Jett Lawrence will enter the 2020 AMA Supercross series as a 250SX class rookie. The GEICO Honda team rider raced a few Lucas Oil Pro Motocross races this past summer and showed good speed. He then competed at the AUS-SX Open in his home country of Australia in November and finished fourth overall with 4-3-2 moto scores. With the backing of the GEICO Honda team, now co-owned by three-time Supercross champion Ryan Dungey, and training with 1984 Supercross champion Johnny O’Mara, many are predicting that the younger of the two Lawrence brothers racing 250SX in 2020 will be a podium threat.
The team has not confirmed if Jett will race the 250SX west series, that will begin on January 4th in Anaheim, California or if he will ride the 250SX west series, which stars on February Tampa Bay, Florida on February 15th. Either way, we can’t wait to see where Jett Lawrence fits in.

Old Year’s resolutions!
You’ll be ahead of the game and over the initial aches come Jan 2nd when everyone else is just starting.
You can ‘indulge’ more over the holidays because you’re already working toward a fitter you. This will also have the secondary benefit of making you less likely to go overboard while all around you are letting go until the New Year.
You will have far more attention from the trainers, due to the fact that most people will wait until January when the gym staff will be swamped. This will have the roll on effect of them knowing you early and will probably take more interest in you later on.
Why did this not work last time I tried it and what can I do different to succeed this time?
What happens if I give up this time?
Decide on what you really want to achieve and by when; state your intentions for one month’s time, three months and six months time. Don’t just say something without really thinking about it; ask yourself “can I achieve this in the given time?” It’s a much overused idea but actually visualize your success – how you will look and how you will feel. Save the money you spend on junk food or put a dollar away ever time you workout, and then use that money to treat yourself when you achieve each goal.
Don’t go it alone! Find someone who will support you through this change, but not someone in your situation! Why not? Because although that person will be a great support while all is going well, what happens when either of you start to fade, where is the support then? Choose someone who is already fit and healthy, the fitter the better! Why? Because they are what you are inspiring to become, they are already there and will be there for you however tough it becomes.  If you have a ‘super athletic’ boss or senior, tell them your plans and imagine how you’d feel if you later have to tell them that you’ve given up! Virtually all super fit people love to encourage others to be more like them and no, they won’t belittle or patronize you - consider it free coaching!
