Right hand, middle finger, locks up curled in the night about half the time. Takes a few minutes of careful unbending using my other hand in the morning to loosen it up. Wearing a splint on the finger to keep it straight at night helps. If it keeps up, I'll go for the cortisone shot first. Looking into diet, whether it's worse if I have a couple of beers at night, stuff like that. Maybe acupuncture? Stop typing on the computer for a while? Stop working? Nope, can't do that... Use it and lose it I guess is the word for us seniors.
