Is Thinning Of Wrists Suggestive Of Bone Problems?
I have very small wrists, they are so small that I can fit my thumb and pinkie around them (not even a tight fit, and I have very small hands too). My mother said my wrists have become skinnier, although I have not lost weight or increased any exercises. Could there possibly be a problem with my bones? I know it s unlikely but I can t help but wonder.

Hello,
Measure your body weight, the power of the muscles at wrists joints. It may need a comparison with the opposite side of the wrist.
In a few muscular dystrophy or unused wasting or major illness may cause this problem. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
