It was not carpal tunel sydrome. It was trigger finger (having nothing

A bump developed on the tendon that pulls my right ring finger straight
from a curled position. The bump would catch on a ligament that crossed
over the tendon to hold it in place. I could not straightened the
finger smoothly; instead, it would jump (the triggering effect) -- with
much pain.
The surgeon cut the ligament. Scar tissue formed to hold the tendon in
place but more loosely than the ligament. I can now straighten the
finger smoothly and without pain.
The surgery I had was a last resort when repeated cortisone shots failed
to give more than temporary relief. A few years later after I retired,
I had to have the same surgery done on two other fingers. The same
problem happened to both thumbs and even another finger; but in those
situations, the problems yielded to cortisone shots.
Ouch. That sounds worse! :(
