What kind of wrist problem could this be?

Question:

I noticed that the left side of my wrist feels like it is tangled and it hurts, but I also notice that I have problems grasping things with both my wrist. And they hurt a lot and also the wrist pop a lot. What could this be?

Answers:
I would probably go to your general practice doctor and let him/her recommend a specialist. They may be able to do an early diagnosis and point you to the right person or be able to treat it themselves.

I thought I might have Carpal Tunnel but I found out that one of the key symptoms is numbness in the fingers. As it turns out I just had tendinitis in my forearms and wrists.

I purchased an ergonomically correct wrist keyboard pad and mouse pad and adjusted my chair at work (i had been sitting too low). After a few days the pain was pretty much gone.

I'm no doctor, but it sounds a lot like carpal tunnel syndrome. Do you use computers - or some other repetitive task that involves your wrist a lot? If so, I'd tell your doctor about it.

The pop in your wrist may also indicate a torn muscle or ligament. No matter what it is, it's time to visit your doctor.
