Tendonitis, BPI Related?

Just wondering if anyone has developed tendonitis in the hand affected by BPI. I was just diagnosed with flexor tendonitis or "trigger fingers" in 3 of my fingers. My doctor said it wasn't related to my BPI. Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

Roy

I have had this once on the ring finger of my right hand - I am birth injured and my ring and pinkie are very weak... so I was surprised...

Now I have it on the ring finger only of my left hand... and yes I was told it is not related....

Thanks for your reply Kathleen. I've gotten to the point where I don't readily trust doctors anymore.
Have a wonderful day.
