My wrist won't stop cracking?!


Question: Ever since last week, my wrist has been getting really sore and every time I turn it it cracks! I know that sometimes when you move your body it cracks but my wrist won't stop! (it makes a loud "popping" noise) So I tried a wristband for support, and It's helping a little. But I never fell on it, twisted it, etc. My parents say it's from being on the computer too long, which could be true, but what do you think? On Monday I'm going to the doctor so hopefully I'll have a solution.

Your body does crack normally, that's from the synovial fluid in the joints making tiny bubbles and then those bubbles are popped. If you're on the computer a lot, that's probably the culprit. Repetitive action can really damagejoints and bones.

Check out this picture of the bones:http://academic.wsc.edu/faculty/jatodd1/...

Your metacarpals are a bunch of odd shaped little bones that are grooved to rub against each other and allow your wrist all the motions it has. The repetitive action of you on the computer might have caused them to rub against each other too much and you may have damaged them. Just a theory, the doctor will be able to help you though,

Yeah go to the doctor and stay off the computer

It could be repetitive stress syndrome, which can come from using the computer too long. Your doctor will likely be able to help. Take a break from the computer in the mean time.

I was using my wrist a little too roughly and once when I was doing pushups, I really hurt it and now it hurts when I do pushups. It cracks sometimes. Maybe you could of hurt it without knowing.

mine does that too .. it happened after i did gymnastics for a year .. idk

i have the exact same problem. but its both of my wrist and i have had since i can remember and im 18. But i have got bumps on both of my wrist and some days there sore somedays there not. But i do know the bumps are sists. i think and those are what are sore. i have not gone to doctor for it. And it not from being on the computer. so when you go to the doctor let me know what the doctor says. please
