Hi not sure if anyone will know or if this is arthritis, but a few months ago the inside of my thumb felt like i had a loose bone about and inch or more long, now i have it in my other thumb i do have pain when i grip something it hurts after.

Also all my joints make a noise this is why i think it could be start of arthritis.

you can try getting a thumb spica splint. It might help the thumb be more stable and heal faster.

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? Arthritis may present with symptoms such as joint pain, swelling, inflammation, and stiffness. To confirm this diagnosis, imaging studies such as x-ray or blood tests may need to be done. Aside from arthritis, musculoskeletal issues may also need to be ruled out. If it persists, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
