I've been cracking my fingers in an unusual way, like sideways, which puts a lot of pressure on my joints. It's become a bad habit over the years. Now, the joints have grown, but theres no pain or tightnessjust feels a bit odd, though it seems normal to me. The thing is, it doesnt look normal; there's growth around the joints, especially the IP joints. When I touch them, it feels like theres extra tissue, and I can move it without any pain. Im curious about what this could be. Any ideas what's going on with my fingers?

I'm a bit worried because I had dengue a couple of months back and recovered, but recently I've been experiencing some pain behind my knee, specifically in the popliteal fossa area, especially when I stretch or walk, and my heel is hurting too. My platelet count is at 2 lakh now, which I hope is fine. I'm also losing a lot of hair and have started taking ADHAIR tablets after seeing a dermatologist. Do you think these symptoms could be signs of dengue coming back, or is it something else?
-The pain you're experiencing now doesn't seem like a recurrence of dengue, especially with a normal platelet count. It could be related to other factors like muscle strain or stress on joints, and the hair loss might be due to postpartum or other underly
