Finger Joint Issue (thumb) - Help/advice
Posted: 08-17-07 23:58pm

a few month ago i jard my thumb , it was in pain for a few days. now it dosnt hurt much although if i twist it it cracks fairly loud and also when i feel the joint it dose not feel the same as the opposite thumb. im wondering if i should seek med advice or im just worrying to much about it

for those who don't understand what a jard finger is. its like when someone throws a basket ball to you and when you go to catch it. it hits your finger and pushes it back. i hope i used to correct terminology

Joints are tricky. Yes, you might want to request an MRI to see what's really going on in the joint.
