Is A Popping Knuckle On The Middle Finger An Indication To Arthritis?

Beginning about two wees age, the knuckle on the middle finger of my right hand began popping into place when I uncoiled my fingers. There is also some pain. I am worried that this is a sudden onset of arthritis or maybe I broke something doing yoga!
