dear kimberly...
painful bumps on both wrists may be becuase of rheumatoid arthritis..
if you are also suffering with any of below
- early morning stiffness
- redness of joints
- pain in any other big joints (knees,shoulders,elbows)
-pain in hand joints
you need to meet a rheumotologist for further blood tests and investigations and medication
