Thumbs have been really soar for months. now right thumb keeps popping out of joint. i've never injured it to my knowledge. this is very painful. why?

Subluxation: Either it is Trigger Joint or Subluxation of the joint. Do you do repeated movement with the Thumb? Try NSAID like Ibuprofen and seek Orthopedics consultation.
