Hello, I was wondering if I had sprained my thumb accidentally. I used to pop my fingers daily, and for some reason now I can't pop my right thumb. There was an incident where I tried to pop it but I couldn't, the sensation of needing to pop it stayed so
Last week i've seen a specialist and they told me my finger joints were very loose. I've had at least 2 sprains those fingers last year so i'm guessing this might be why. Are loose joints dangerous and how are they treated?
