Clicky thumb

[marion]

Hi everyone

We've noticed today that Chloe has a weird clicky thumb. It's like she can bend it and it freezes in the bent position until she sort of snaps it back straight again. Dont know if I've explained that quite right.

Has anyone else come across this - do you think I should take her to the dr's about it? It doesnt seem to bother her - it's just a bit odd.

Any advice would be welcomed.
Thanks
Love
Marion.

I can do it with my thumb - double jointed in my right thimb and I can lock it into a bent position and click it back out. It's not painful just weird x

Thanks Sianyc - is it anyting she should see a dr about do you think or does it just mean, like you say, she's double jointed and one of those things?
Thanks
Marion.

Forgot to check on this thread - sorry marion

I wouldn't worry if it's not bothering her. if it's concerning you though, then there's no harm in taking her to the doctor to set your mind at rest x

Have sent an email about it to NHS direct to see if they think she needs to see a dr. There have been a couple of times when she's not been able to straighten it and had to use her other hand to straighten it.
Thanks
