Trigger thumb occurs when inflammation narrows the space within the sheath that surrounds the tendon in the affected finger. If trigger thumb is severe, your finger may become locked in a bent position.
Trigger thumb is more common in women than men and tends to happen most often in people who are 40 to 60 years old. Farmers, industrial workers, and musicians often get trigger finger since they repeat finger and thumb movements a lot. Even smokers can get trigger thumb from repeated use of a lighter, for example.

Also, you can observe finger stifness, Tenderness or a bump (nodule) in the palm at the base of the affected finger, finger locking in a bend position which you are unable to straighten.
