What Causes Pain In Wrist While Bending Down?
I have not been able to bend my right wrist for over 5 years now. It is extememly painful if I even attempt to bend it forward. If I hit it on something, I will be on the ground in agony for at least 5 minutes. I have never injured it to my knowledge and the pain is getting more severe latley. My entire right arm and hand have a constant dull pain like someone slugged me in the arm.

Hello,
It looks from your details that you may be suffering from continuous wrist pain.Such type of wrist pain can be due to:
- A old sprain
- Avascular necrosis of a carpal bone
- Impingement of capsule or disc at wrist joint.
I shall advise you to have an X-ray of wrist to rule out reason behind it. Till then you may wear a wist support and take a mild analgesic like advil for relief from pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
