Medical questions?!

Medical questions?

i have a few questions that i just kinda want answers to. i am bored so i thought i would ask them.

1. my pinky fingers are crooked at the first nuckle. so are my moms and my grandpas. it like gets to the knuckle then the tip points into my hand. me and my mom were the first born. when i was born the doctors thought i had broken them, but i didn't

my question is , how normal is this? and is it heratitary? and my moms finger kind of stays bent, will this efentually happen to me? what are the odds one of my kids will have this?

2. i have been having knee pain, i pitch in fastpitch softball, it is the leg i land on,

what could the pain be?

3. what happens if you pop your fingers alot? my g-ma says your knuckles swell.

4. i play fastpitch softbal, and i pitch, when i go to the dug out between innings i notice my throwing hand swells and shakes a little, it doesn't hurt.

why would it do this?

it doesn't swell alot and it doesn't last long after the game

thanks!!
