Probably easier to describe as the main first knuckle of the ring finger, along with the equivalent 4th toe joints, both hands and both feet.
They’ll just start hurting suddenly and randomly, for seemingly no good reason. Popping those knuckles/joints usually relieves the pain at least.
I figure it’s gotta be a genetic defect of sorts, as it affects the same exact joint, left or right, hands or feet, equally, and I recall as early as age 7, perhaps even earlier, having to pop my knuckles to relieve the pains.
Just curious, does anyone else have oddly specific pains like that, where you’ve basically had those pains all your life but just done got used to them?
I used to suffer from similar joint pain in my fingers that would be relieved if I popped them. It’s a lot better after going on a low inflammation diet, may be worth a try.
Okay, I’m quite open to suggestions…
What sort of ‘low inflammation’ diet might you suggest?
As a first step I’d try eating only whole foods and cut out refined sugars and carbohydrates, for maybe about 4 weeks, and see how you feel.
