Thumb sometimes stuck when straight
Hello. I am right-handed and sometimes I can't bend my right thumb all the way down; I have to pull it out a little bit and then it will go down. Sometimes if I am not paying attention, I will hear a snapping sound and then I can move it freely. Then a few more hours will pass and then it seems to be stuck again in the straight (not bent) position. No pain whatsoever. This has been going on for 4 months, but lately it feels like it is getting better. Do you know what this is?
