Could The Pain In The Wrist Is A Nerve Issue Having Broken The Wrist Bones Few Years Ago?

Hi, I am 16 years old and about 5-6 years ago I broke my arm. The break was at my wrist and I broke both bones. During the healing process I had a few issues of my arm almost growing wrong but it was solved. But in all the time that it has been healed I have felt extreme pain in my arm and sometimes it locks up where I can t move it. The pain is always present though and sometimes I can ignore it and other times I can t. The pain will stretch to other parts of my arm and in order to somewhat, it doesn t always work, relieve the pain I must twist my arm and every single time it makes a loud crack. I need to know if my arm is just going through normal issues after broken bones or if it is a nerve issue, or possible one, that I should go talk to my doctor about looking at. I just want the pain to stop. Please help.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Persistent pain in your wrist could be de to compression of nerve. I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray/MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
