Suggest Treatment For Pain In Wrists

my wrist recently started hurting. If I turn my hand palm up and someone clasps fingers and pulls it feels like it want to pop. When I take my right hand and squeeze around the wrist area it pops, and relieves pressure. Any ideas of what this would be and care for it?

Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety

Wrist pain might be due to acute injuries like falling or twisting injury while gripping or repetitive stress from continued gripping or weight bearing. If tingling sensation present, then carpal tunnel syndrome should also be considered.

I advice you to,
- Take analgesics + anti-inflammatory for 5days.
- Steroid injection if pain is not reducing.
- Rest & don't over use the affected wrist
- Ice pack to relieved of pain & swelling
- Xray of wrist joint with hand if pain is not settling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
