I can move my pinkie but its purple on the knuckle and when i move it back and forth my bones kind of pops out what do you think could be wrong?

Needs evaluation: Actual dislocation of your joint would be highly unlikely. It's more likely that you just have the sensation of the bones subluxing. Unfortunately your question will require direct examination by an orthopedist to evaluate the purple discoloration as well as the stability of your joints.
