Locking/ Joint problem in middle finger Postpartum

Hi,

When I wake up in the morning sometimes my middle finger is bent over and I stuggle to move it back. When I get up I can move my finger again but it kind of clicks, like the joint is rubbing. It is not really painful but not completely painless either. This has also started to happen in my left hand too. This has been happening since the weekend. I haven't been using my hands for anyting repetitive. Has anyone had this, is it normal?

BTW: Jack and Kalen are still doing great and have started to increase in weight :)

My right pinky started locking up the day after Xmas party a couple months ago and is steadily getting worse....I want to amputate it because it's starting to limit what I can do...

Hasn't anyone has this at all????

It seems to be getting worse.

During my pregnancy I would get up in the middle of the night with pins and needles or a dead arm. This is starting to happen to me again but I get it during the day as well. When I use my hands during the day it feels like the blood is draining from them :(

Any ideas?

My pinky on my right hand does that. I've had it for as long as I can remember. I've never asked a doctor or anything so I'm curious to hear what people have to say. I've always been really embarrassed of my pinky... if that even makes sense. :(
