John Stamos had elective surgery for Trigger Finger
Take a deep breath, John Stamos fans. America's favorite hot uncle is just fine. Stamos underwent elective surgery for a hand condition known as Trigger Finger.
The "Full House" actor posted an Instagram photo from his hospital bed, writing in the caption, "Damn you #Triggerfinger ! I went in for a quick elective procedure – In and out! Thanks to the fine doctors/nurses for taking such good care of me. I'll be up and drumming in no time. Thank you for the well wishes."
According to WebMD, Trigger Finger is the name for a hand condition known as "stenosing tenosynovitis." Trigger Finger happens when "something inflames a band of tissue called a 'pulley,' which holds the tendon to the finger bone, most often in the ring finger or thumb. This narrows the space in the tube, or 'sheath,' around the tendon and causes stiffness and pain," WebMD explains.
Stamos is recovering, and it's nothing serious. We can take a lot of bad news in 2021 — except anything bad going on with Stamos, a.k.a. Uncle Jesse.
