A member asked:
My dad got his thumb bent by itself yesterday. it was straightened back after a quick massage. what could that be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trigger finger: or Trigger Thumb in this case. It MAY be an inflammation of the tendon in the digit that causes the joint to lock. Treatments include such things as splinting the area to keep it immobile for a while or shots. Peace and good health. Please have your dad see his doctor.
