Thumb On My Right Hand Pops Every Time It Is Moved And When Pressure Is Applied

My thumb on my right hand pops or like cracks every time I move it to the left or right and even when i put it down as if the bone is out going out of place. Every time this happens my thumb would hurt horribly when I put pressure on it. What does this mean?

Hi,

I have read your query.

You should get x-ray of right hand focusing thumb in AP and Oblique view done and discus it with your doctor, your doctor will do your physical examination and tally it with your x-ray report.

He may advise you thumb Spica or thumb splint if needed.

You ma take 1 tab. aceclofenac+serratiopeptidase by discussing it with your doctor.

I hope it helps.

In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
