My fingers get stuck out straight when I am sewing sometimes but I put it down to the job I did until I retired 3 years ago!

I cannot straighten my middle finger on one hand I have a hard lump at the base and many more over the palm of my hand, I am getting them on my other hand now I thought it was down to so much typing over the years but is this tendonitis. I am told they can inject into the lump but it is very painfull.

I also have tendonitis in my fingers (which I attributed to 20yrs pounding on a keyboard) but now wonder if there is a connection with my mild COPD and hiatus hernia. The date of onset co-incides with diagnosis and taking seretide and omeprazole, both potent drugs. Speculation maybe but, as we know, the side effects of medication are not fully appreciated/understood/reported.

Best solution for me : I have steroid injections in palm of my hands by GP when they get very swollen and painful and the fingers start to "trigger". Very effective. I also do lots of stretching exericses for my hands every day. And I never carry heavy shopping now as this aggravates the tendonitis.

Hope this helps, Joany.
