What Does A Tube-like Structure Under The Skin In Thumb Joint Indicate?
When I move my thumb side to side, something in the palm side of the mp joint pops. When I put my finger to the base of the thumb mp joint, I feel a tube-like structure just underneath the skin and when I press on the structure I can see it move back and forth under my skin. What do you think it could be?

Thank you for using healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I think this is the nodul of the thickening of the flexor tendon sheath causing trigger thumb syndrome.
