I had early symptoms of what's described. A couple of my fingers locking. It was painful. FYI after I got my first Covid vaccine, the symptoms disappeared and haven't returned.

I suffered from this on my left small finger for years. The painful locking into position could only be remedied by grabbing hold of the entire finger and slowly straitening it back into position, though only a few moments would go by without experiencing it all over again.
Finally received an injection in that finger knuckle and it relieved my painful situation completely.
It is an insidious condition needing medical attention.
