Muscle cramp: Sounds like a muscle cramp. Muscles can spasm causing the fingers to stay bent until the spasm resolves. Heat and massage can help ease the spasm. If you experience clicking in a certain finger when you open and close it, you might have a trigger finger.

Trigger: If your finger locks up, it may be a trigger finger. See your doctor and if it is a trigger finger, a cortisone shot may help you a lot.

Trigger finger: Generally, locking of the fingers or thumbs are caused by trigger fingers. This is a benign condition in which the tendon becomes entrapped around a structure called the A1 pulley. If this is painful, an injection or surgery can improve the symptoms. If this is not painful, you can live with this as long as you have full range of motion and full function.
