Can Diclofenac And Gabapentin Cause The Feeling Of Loose Thumb Joints?

For several days, my thumb joints have been loose, clicking when I get up in the morning but slipping back into normal position in a few minutes. There s no pain, just mild discomfort, but it doesn t go away. I take 2 meds for knee problems, diclofenac and gabapentin. Could they be related? If not, what could be the source?

diclofenac gabapentin are unlikely to be the cause of this problem.
you you have a previous history of arthritis which you have not mentioned may be the cause of it.
