A member asked:
Why can't i bend my thumb without bending my index finger? i only have this problem in right hand. what can this be?

Curious: 20's male whose thumb flexion on right hand evokes sympathetic index finger flexion likely has flexor tendon conjunction of both fingers. If this is undesired, then a plastic surgeon who specializes in hands should be consulted.
