I have this on right ring finger and left middle finger. I had a couple injections but they told me it it doesn't help I should get surgery. I am very active and use my hands for cycling,skiing,kayaking and more. It even bothers me when cutting vegetables in the kitchen!
Not much pain, fortuneatly. I figured it was overuse and age.

I use scissors to cut up many items. For any finger that has a click when moving, I do the RICE--rest, ice, compression/splint and stretches. It is basically a tendon/tendon sheath issue . I like finger exercises like Dr Jo Thumb Range of Motion and Trigger Finger.
