Could The Popping Sensation In Wrist Leading To Inability To Twist Be A Cause Of Worry?

yesterday, i was lifting doing power hip rotations. I brought the weight down to my right hip and i heard a loud pop in my left wrist and it didnt hurt much last night until i fell asleep. The pain was enough to wake me up. I cant twist at all. Up and down is no problem but a hammer motion is unbearable as well. What could this be?

Hi,

As you has told that you were lifting weight it seems that you have strained your wrist ligament and at it has shown its symptoms afterwards so I suggest you to do hot and cold therapy (do take a bowl of luke warm water and another of cold water, dip your hand in hot water for three mins then dip in cold water for one mins, do it 7-10 times ) and don't lift anything heavy with involved wrist. Apply crepe bandage to avoid swelling and it will also provide external support. I hope it will get alright in 3-4 days.

Hope you will find the answer useful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harsh Swarup
