A member asked:
When i bend my wrist in any direction, i feel a pain as though i have a bruise, but i don't. could this be something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: Serious. An occult fracture of navicular bone comes to mind. Also it could be rheumatoid arthritis. Get it checked out with x-rays and blood tests.
