Snapping and popping: joints or tendons may not be anything at all or could be a sign of injury or inflammation. Often we don't notice subtle pops or snaps until we start to feel around and look for reasons we might have had pain in these areas, other times we discover that making the pop or snap occur duplivate a maneuver that highlights pain. It is hard to be more specific than that! except to say see a hand surgeon
