A member asked:
Why does my wrist crack every time i bend it? it has also been hurting when i write. i play tennis so that might have something to do with it.

Examination: I suggest an orthopedic examination and also the use of a wrist support until cleared, Sometimes this is just air in the joint spaces of the the wrist and of no clinical importance; however, you must be checked for tendinitis or stress fracture.
