Thumb Cracks Constantly?!


Question: Every time I move my thumb in an upward motion (Equivalent as a thumbs up?) It cracks, much like a sound of cracking knuckles. It's been happening recently, give or take, about 2 months ago. I'd go see a doctor, but I'm not in any pain. It's just annoying.

It's the lower knuckle that makes the sounds.

Oddly enough I asked my Anatomy and Physiology teacher what causes the cracking sound of your knuckles. She said nobody that she knows of is exactly certain. You may want to go to a doctor just to get a check up. You never know, it could get worse and present a problem later. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.
