Performing targeted exercises and stretches can help to alleviate trigger finger symptoms and increase flexibility. It’s important that you do the exercises consistently in order to get the best results.
The inflammation that causes trigger finger can lead to pain, tenderness, and limited mobility.
Other symptoms include:
•heat, stiffness, or persistent pain at the base of your affected thumb or finger
•a bump or lump at the base of your finger
•a clicking, popping, or snapping noise or sensation when you move your finger
These are simple exercises that can be done anywhere. The only things you’ll need are an elastic band and a variety of small objects. Objects can include coins, bottle tops, and pens.
