What Causes Occasional Wrist Pain?
Occasionally i get pain in my left wrist where my pulse is, pulsing and sharp. Usually lasts a few minutes and I find relaxing my wrist and shoulders help relieve it. Massaging my hand between my thumb and index finger seems to help as well but makes my hand and top of my forearm hurt a bit. Does thins sound like a tendon/muscle problem or could it be something more serious to be concerned about?

Hello,
Wrist pain is often caused by sprains or fractures from sudden injuries. I suggest applying ice to the sore area toreduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve movement. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories or pain relievers might help if needed. Rest the wrist. Worsening pain means making an appointment with your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
