Does anyone suffer from random hand cramping and finger contractures?

This is in my middle finger. All of my fingers do hyperextend, since the “trigger finger” the middle finger does not hyperextend and I feel the pain at the base of the ring finger too. I asked the hand specialist and he said because of the EDS, this shouldn’t occur. My primary hand specialist I can’t see because she’s booked solid for a while.

Well she’s wrong …..each joint reacts and responds differently due to the percentage of good to bad collagen in that joint. I have DC in the middle finger and a titanium rod keeping my thumbs in my wrist. Three of my toes are hammer toes so they also got titanium pins to better my balance. My sister had to have shoulder replacements but I had to have knee and hips replaced…..it’s all different.! PUSH carries excellent hand gear per issue for each and every hand joint! I have them. Removes pain and I often put a Salon Pas small pain pad under it to reduce the swelling and relax the joint. People who are not schooled well….in EDSh should refrain from commenting. We all have enough to deal with! My own cardiologist said “sorry you have all these bone issues.”NO I told him, it is connective tissue issues and my bones are really great. But thanks?…..see what I mean? Lol…..

My hand specialist said mine was not trigger finger, carpal tunnel, or Dup-Contracture, which is why he referred me to a neurologist. The Gabapentin seems to be working well; however, I would still like to determine the root cause of my problem.
