What exactly causes this? Any "overuse", or overuse in certain positions? I have it in my left pinky, as I often bend it down to hit shift or control, but not in any other fingers. That suggests that it may be caused by bending down and pushing at a weird angle. --SPUI (T - C - RFC - Curpsbot problems) 22:43, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I am here to read more on this condition, I am in your same position SPUI. I get trigger finger in both pinkies, exacerbated by certain positions or lack if use (i.e. when I wake up). Orbframe 11:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I know that this was merged just recently, but I cannot find any extant discussion of this move. Trigger finger is quite different from the other two entities in this article and should not be in the same place! InvictaHOG 22:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nintendo thumb

Why does Nintendo thumb re-direct here? It's more associated with friction blisters than the cramping described here. Ace of Sevens 04:35, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone had merged nintendo thumb and blackberry thumb here and I didn't know about the redirects. That's been fixed - InvictaHOG 13:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Articles should not be merged. Tenosynovitis does not equal trigger finger. Disseminated gonoccaemia may manifest as tenosynovitis and this very differnt to "trigger finger". 07:53, 24 February 2007 User:124.189.57.92

The section on the band of its own name should not be included in the medical entry. Perhaps a new page if it's noteworthy (I know not) otherwise deletion?
