Individuals with trigger finger often notice their finger becoming stuck in a bent position, which may suddenly release with a snap. The condition's name comes from this distinct catching or popping sensation. Early symptoms can include pain, stiffness, tenderness at the base of the affected finger, and occasionally swelling.
