A member asked:
I always feel lots of pressure on both my wrists, i have to constantly twist and turn them till they crack,what can it be?

Habit?: Could this be a habit? why do you need to do this?How long have you been doing this.? If there is pain then you should see your primary care doc or possibly an ortho. Unless there is much swelling or redness and the joints feel hot, I doubt there is much pathology.The cracking and snapping is more related to the twisting and turning and mostly ligamentous noise.
