A member asked:
Third finger of left hand is a "trigger" finger when arthritis acts up. now i'm having weakness in hand. could it be related to a receshoulder injury?

Probably not: Trigger fingers are common problems for many people. If this continues all of the time, you can get an injection that will take care of the problem and rarely a small surgery. The weakness is likely a result of the arthritis or carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel syndrome. I recommend you see a hand surgeon to have an evaluation and get some of these issues addressed.
