Hey anyone's kids have problems with the joints in there fingers sticking. All of MEgan's fingers get stuck and we have to pop them out. I know it doens't hurt her cause now it seems like a game to her and she does it to gross me out.

Anyone know if this is a problem? Or if is it common in our kids?
When she was younger the doctor diagnoised her with "trigger finger" and said she would require surgery to fix it...but it miraculously fixed itself! Is that related to this?

Any info would be GREAT.

It does sound like trigger finger to me. Here's a link to information concerning trigger finger: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/trigger-finger/DS00155

Two of my relatives had to have surgery for this condition.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

Wow, that is so weird. Hannah's thumbs do the same thing. I figured it was just one of those things. It does not happen a lot so I didn't really ever pay much attention to it. Sorry no answers though...

Hee Hee My little finger on my left hand dose this. I never realized it had a name. I think it was worse in the days when I did a lot of counter cross stich.
