stiff fingers
Unbending hand parts
Stiff fingers are fingers that don't bend easily, whether from cold, arthritis, injury, or lack of practice.
Musicians and typists speak of stiff fingers when they haven't warmed up: My stiff fingers stumbled over the piano keys.
The phrase often implies temporary impairment rather than permanent condition.
