Fingers locking up, Arthritis?

[brianixon]

Might be doing something with my hands, lifting, gripping, using screwdriver etc.
Then my first finger only or finger and thumb joints stay half closed. Will not allow me to grip more or straighten out.+

Sorry did not mean to post.
This has come on more recently, not affected by weather, not because of cold.
It is not painful and goes off within 1or 2 minutes
Any Ideas or suggestions please.

Probably not but I'll offer this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_finger

Mine do and I have to click them straight really hurts.... osteoarthritis and psoriatic arthritis can't get my rings on anymore

Mine did that for quite a while so went to the Dr turns out it was a virus and cleared up eventually.

Thank you for the replies, I tend to accept the arthritis ideas. When I get to a Dr Face2Face I shall try to discuss this.
