Inflammation due to Rheumatoid Arthritis has added to my problem. I tried to ignore the locking but every night I would awaken to find my ring finger planted in my palm. Very painful to undo.

That's what happened to me. Rt middle finger got stuck. Two cortisone shots and it kept getting stuck, so I had surgery. Works great as they cut the tendon while you are under sedation. However, I only had one .25" slice along my heart line and it is barely visible. A couple weeks after, it felt great until I put a new front spoiler on my 996tt. Had to bang it to snap in, and boy was it sore!
Earlier this year had my left pointer got stuck and had a shot and all is good. Right ring finger getting stuck now and I need to make an appt to get a shot.
