any suggestions?

For the past week or so, the base joint of my right-hand little finger has been very sore, particularly on the palm. Range of motion is generally normal, except immediately after waking; at that point, the finger is "jumping" between different positions along its length (bent/partially extended) as I flex it, accompanied by a general feeling of thunk. This gradually wears off over the course of half an hour or so. Sensation is mostly normal (if slightly tender).

Potentially relevant things to consider: hypermobility-type EDS; RSI.

Suggestions/input/advice welcome; I have not yet tried sleeping in wrist splints but suspect that's my next step.

Could you be subluxing the base of your finger and the clunk be relocating it (ergo the general tenderness)? I have done this many times to my fingers.

Doesn't quite feel like subluxing! But will bear in mind.
