My wrist feels like it needs to pop, but when it does the discomfort doesn't go away. it is becoming painful to bend and move it. please help.

Motrin or aleve (naproxen): If you have injured your wrist see a doctor. If not there may just be some irritation or inflammation in the joint. Try some warm compresses and an anti-inflammatory like motrin or aleve (naproxen) for a few days and hopefully the discomfort will go away. Popping the wrist will just cause more irritation and is not a good idea.
