Pain in thumb and lot of crackling sound
I am getting pain in thumb area on the left hand as shown in attached picture. If I press it, it is very agonizing and it will keep on paining for 1-2 min. It is almost unbearable, not sure why that specific area. Secondly, if I make a fice and rorate my wrist, lot of crackling sounds are there. Is it something I should be concerned about.

Possibility of on going inflammation. Needs proper cleaning on the sides by a clinician and may need anti inflammatory medicines.
Crackling sound is due to the movements of the tendons around the carpal bones. Not very unusual.
Stop doing it repeatedly.
