About 6 months ago, when I woke up one morning, one hand was closed in a fist & when I tried to open it, one finger would not open. I had the think about it to get it to open. At that time, I didn't think much about it. It continued to act this way periodically & has since gotten a bit more .. um .. annoying. When I mentioned it to my Dr., he said it was probably a tendon causing it. At this time, it is only the one finger (middle on right hand) doing this. The whole finger somewhat hurts but the worst is when I force it open so I can use it. I was previously Dx with an 'inflamed tendon' on the inside of my right wrist. The first thing Dr Boza says is "You need surgery". I said Excuse me.... At that time, I was loosing use of that hand but after wearing a brace, I have most of the use of that hand back. :-) Anyway, my bro recently reminded me that daddy had trouble with his fingers. I don't know IF any Dr every told him why but I am curious if other PWP have this type symptom where a finger won't open & both joints of it hurt. My dad was Dx w/PD in the early 90s & passed away in 2001 at age 81. The trouble with his hands started before his Dx. I am wondering if this is just a coincidence between he & I or could it be a PD thing.
