A member asked:

Played football, knuckle under ring finger hurts when i move that finger. when i tried pushing it down to crack it, it got stuck and i snapped it back?

see details: This may be a trigger finger related to tendinitis or it could result from damage to the bone or joint. See an orthopedist.
