A finger that catches or clicks as you bend it, and sometimes locks bent so you have to straighten it with the other hand. It is a tendon catching at a pulley, not arthritis.

It is commoner in diabetes and often appears for no obvious reason. It is not something you did.
Pictures, how many and how often, and what it should feel like. Free, and printable.
In your language, free to download. Each one is a short PDF you can keep on your phone or print.
On cost: if we suggest a scan, an injection or an operation, ask us what it costs and what happens if you do nothing. We will answer both. You should never feel pushed into spending money.
Consultation is ₹500 for a first visit and ₹300 for a follow-up, the same at both clinics. For anything else, ask at the desk or on WhatsApp before it is done — we will tell you the exact cost.
A page is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If the pain is not settling, come in and have it looked at properly — bring any X-ray, MRI or CT films you already have.
