Yup- happens with palm wide open. In fact, all I need to do is hold my hand wide open (fingers and ligament in question tight) and just press the ligament even a little and I get a sharp pain- like it's stretching and wants to pop. Even with my hand relaxed and in a "neutral" position (lame hand) and push it in the right spot I get the same thing, though I need to push harder. Granted, it's a lot more sensitive these days, and I need to rest it more. I started using the fingerless lifting gloves before this whole thing started, so there was always at least a bit of padding/piece of leather, but it really was never about getting it with something sharp or an edge, it's just pressure overall in that area. I'd like to have a doctor snip it and be done with it but I'm sure it's serves a purpose
