Does anyone know what is causing this or how to fix it?


Question:
Every morning I wake up and both of my thumbs are jammed.I have to bend them and they pop really really loud.does anyone know what is causing this?

Answers:
An orthopedic doctor could tell you for certain, but it sounds a lot like trigger finger. I have had surgery done on three of my fingers for this. The tendon in our fingers slides through a casing when we bend and straiten our joints. With trigger finger the tendon is swollen or the casing is too tight for the tendon to smoothly slide. This causes a catching and often a hard pop to occur when opening the finger. It is not a difficult thing to fix and it effects a lot of people. I hope this gives you some place to start!

Go to the Dr.

who are you sleeping with? LOL

No you are doing something in your sleep that is causing it.

wear splints for a couple of nights. see if it works


you are double jointed and it is from the way that you sleep. you just get really comfy in a position that puts pressure on your thumbs. and yes, it does make a loud popping noise, but much like cracking your knuckles, the sound is made by the nitrogen in you blood popping. completely normal but a little gross. at least is you understand the reason, its acceptable. for those against cracking knuckles, you aren't hurting your joints just re leaving pressure
