Does anyone suffer from random hand cramping and finger contractures?

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.

My old fingers dislocate every morning when I make the bed! Not too bad,
so I have not had my hands worked on but have had very good fixes with other joints.
Check out this ... There are evidently ligaments and tendons in hands too! https://prolotherapynashville.com/connective-tissue-damage/
"Until the 1950s, ligaments were believed to be a significant source of somatic pain—back pain, neck pain, and joint pain in general. There were at least two reasons upon which this belief was based. First, the nerve density in ligaments (and tendons) is very high. Damage in these structures would be expected to cause significant symptoms. Secondly, diagnostics were based on physical examination."
Improvements in imaging, which doesn't show this kind of damage and cortisone and NSAIDS left the diagnostic of careful palpation in the past ... and prolotherapy and PRP to fix this connective tissue damage and dispell inflammation as the cause got lost too. Prolotherapy can work and needs to become an orthopedic tool.

Likewise. It was sudden for me and it has gotten worse over the course of the past 3 months. Hopefully I get more answers from the new hand specialist. I don’t have pain now. When it first started the base of my middle and ring finger was intense. It only hurts now when it locks and I have to pry it open. I worry one day I will snap it.
