A member asked:

Is it normal for me to constantly be getting inflammations in my wrist? or could it be something else? it is very painful! goes away by itself.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: It is not normal to get repeated inflammation in any joint. Your growth plate in wrist area is most likely closed. Need to have an X-ray of wrist and if negative X-ray , should have arthritis work up done.
