What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Wrist?
Hello, Sunday night I was at work and felt a pop in my wrist. I thought I had sprained wrist but it isn t. One of my veins popped in my wrist. The swelling was small at first but has gotten worse since it happened. My wrist is wrapped up and when I take off my wrap my hand starts to hurt and my thumb starts to go a little numb. There is some tingling though oh my hand. Is this something I need to go to the doctor for?
