Why does my wrist pop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Wrist popping or clunking is very common. Some of us (myself included)are predisposed to this because of our anatomy and congenital development. Others develop symptoms as a result of an injury (old or new). If it doesn't hurt and there is no dysfunction, it's probably ok. If you are at all concerned, see your doctor or a wrist specialist for an evaluation.
