I have eds 3 (hypermobility) & often my wrist cracks (feels like tendon catches on bone) & hurts for days after. is there a way to prevent/treat this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Warm compress to affected joints may help with the pain. Splints from an occupational therapist can help with the loose joints of your wrists. Motrin or Aleve (naproxen) for the pain in loose joints. if not improved in 1 wk, appointment with physician and referral to rheumatologist for further management w/ possible x-rays or lab work
