Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Painful Popping In The Wrist Upon Twisting The Arm?
My right wrist pops when I slightly turn my arm causing paint to shoot to my pinky and down to my elbow. I spent several days tilling a garden with it jerking pulling and twisting my wrist in which the pain continue to grow each day until I could no longer use it. Now I can use it all for anything...
As per my surgical experience, likely compression of median nerve above the wrist level mostly. Needs detailed neurologic assessment of the upper limb for best approach to curative therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
