How to Treat Trigger Finger and the Role of Smart Phone and Social Media in Causing Finger Pain

We rely on the dexterity of our fingers and thumbs every day for the most menial of tasks before we even walk out our front door: brushing teeth, handling cutlery, buttoning clothes, tying shoelaces, carrying a bag and using handles. Taking one of our fingers out of action is all it takes to realise that having 4 working fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand is essential for completing countless seemingly simple daily tasks. Overusing them through repetitive activities such as typing on smart phones and scrolling social media, is a very real risk with implications that can seriously impede your life.
