Arthritis: most likely you are developing arthritis first do not try to click your joint that will harm them more you need to be evaluated by your doctor to make sure what kind of arthritis we are dealing with because treatment will vary so go and see your doctor

Osteoarthritis: The most common symptom is a painful clicking when bending or straightening the finger. Your doctor may also recommend an injection of a steroid into the joint to ameliorate the inflammation and pain.
