Hello, As carpal tunnel Syndrome should have symptoms like pain in the palm and fingers, tingling, numbness etc. But since you have only pain in the wrist and some popping noise I feel x-ray of the wrist will be better. As this sounds are due to the movement of the carpal bones which happens due to the weakness of the ligaments and also the flexor retinaculum tightness. Do hot water fermentation, gentle massage over the flexor retinaculum which is located at the wrist level, do simple strengthening exercises for hand, fingers and forearm muscles. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
