Does anyone suffer from random hand cramping and finger contractures?

I don’t have spasms, but terrible trigger finger - right hand middle. If affects my ability to open jars. It locks on tight grips too. Saw a hand specialist and he was of no use, just take anti-inflammatory pills. I explained I have Elhers Danlos Syndrome and I don’t want to take the pills, I prefer finger splints, he ignored me. I’m waiting to see a different specialist. Anyone else with EDS experience this?

Welcome @michc, While you wait to see if anyone else with EDS has experienced similar problems with fingers, I thought you might find this information from Mayo Clinic which mentions some additional noninvasive treatments helpful.

Did your hand specialist suggest any therapy or stretching exercises to help the mobility of your finger?
