Q: both middle fingers lock up ussually in the morning when i wakr up.after they free up there is constant pain. i'm unable to bend them down to the palm.any ideas as to why this is accuring?
You most likely have Trigger Fingers which is caused by the tendons getting stuck in the tunnel in the palm of your hand. Sometimes steriod injections help, sometimes surgery is neccessary. Try some rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medications first because sometimes the swelling that is causing the tendons to get stuck will go away with good care.
