Disregard this post, I figured it out.
I am currently setting the driven keys for the fingers.
So, say that the finger is all the way down in can go, and my keys are set. When I move the finger up, (by clicking the middle mouse button), it will go all the way up. when it reaches the top, it hits 0. the numbers will continue to change until it hits either -10 or 10, even though the joints aren't moving anymore. I have attempted to fix this my simply redoing it, but that has not worked.
