What Causes Pain And Cracking Noise In The Fingers While Bending?

Some of the fingers on my right hand make a noise when bending, then snap back to straight as if there were rubber bands inside. It is a little painful and it s worse when my hands have been in active. Is this something I should see my doctor about?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

The crackling sound what you hear when you move your fingers is normal sound which happens when the tendons move over bones. Now the second part of what you have said that your fingers feel like a rubber band and get stuck may occur when you have a condition called trigger finger.

In this condition, the fingers make a snapping sound and get stuck and you are unable to move them. I suggest you wait for a few weeks and then if your fingers get stuck then consult a specialist.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
