Have you ever noticed your finger catching, locking, or snapping when you try to bend or straighten it?

It could be trigger finger, a common condition that occurs when inflammation narrows the space around the tendon in your finger, making movement difficult or even painful.

Common symptoms include:
-Finger stiffness, especially in the morning
-A popping or clicking sensation
-Tenderness or a small bump at the base of the finger
-A finger that locks in a bent position before suddenly straightening

The good news? Trigger finger is very treatable. Depending on the severity, treatment may include splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, or a simple outpatient procedure to restore smooth movement.

If your fingers are locking, clicking, or causing pain, don't ignore the signs. Early treatment can help prevent the condition from worsening.

Bone spurs (osteophytes) are small bony growths that can develop over time, often as a result of arthritis or joint wear and tear.

While some people never notice them, others may experience:
-Pain or tenderness
-Stiffness or reduced range of motion
-Swelling around the joint
-Catching, locking, or difficulty moving a finger or thumb

Treatment depends on your symptoms. Many patients find relief with activity modifications, splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, or hand therapy. If a bone spur is causing ongoing pain or limiting function, surgery may be an option to restore comfort and movement.

If you're experiencing persistent hand or wrist pain, don't ignore it. An evaluation can help determine the cause and the best treatment plan to keep your hands working their best.

Persistent pain after a hand or wrist injury or surgery isn't always a normal part of recovery. In some cases, it may be Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) - a condition that causes severe pain, swelling, stiffness, and changes in skin color or temperature.

Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in recovery.

If you're recovering from a hand injury or surgery and your symptoms seem to be getting worse instead of better, don't ignore them.

Contact our office at 610-973-6200 to schedule an evaluation if you have concerns about persistent pain following a hand or wrist injury.

Tingling, burning, numbness, or weakness in your hands may be signs of peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged, often affecting sensation and hand function. Early evaluation can help identify the cause and guide treatment options.

Don’t ignore persistent hand numbness or nerve pain, your hands may be trying to tell you something.

If you have arthritis in your hands, you know how easily stiffness, swelling, and pain can flare up. But did you know something as common as an insect bite or bee sting may sometimes make symptoms worse?

In my latest blog, I discuss why the small joints of the hand can be especially sensitive, what signs to watch for, and when to seek care.
