Try massaging in your palm, especially where you can feel along the bones which attach your fingers to your wrist. You may find a place where something seems to be catching, and that could be the source of the locking, or "trigger finger".

I did have the start of trigger finger in the early days of PMR but it improved a lot with pred. Tenosynovitis in hands and feet can be part of PMR. I also find Flexiseq helps with hand pain - and so did quite a few others in the NE of England who tried it - we concluded because the time you had to wait before going off to wash your hands having applied it to a knee gave your hands a good chance too!

I use a small rubber ball to squish in my palm. It exercises everything in and around your palms and is quite relaxing if you like fiddling around whilst doing nothing
