Ring finger keeps locking up causing middle finger to do it very painful

6-7 months ago my fingers on my right hand started locking when I hold something ie a pen olay my guitar. It won't unlock for minutes. Like the tendon is cinched so tight. Is it from the psoriatic arthritis?

  1. Short answer, yes. You can pretty much count on any new symptoms having to do with your joints being the result of your psoriatic arthritis.

    1. , as Eric pointed out, it certainly could be the PsA that is causing your finger locking. That is actually not an uncommon occurrence for some with PsA. One of our health leaders wrote about trigger finger in this article you might be interested in, https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/trigger-finger. It might also be worth bring it up with your doctor, if you haven't already. Just to be sure that the pain and locking isn't caused by something else.
