A member asked:
My husband started feeling very sharp pain in his left wrist suddenly 45 minutes ago, he was just sitting down eating a sandwich when the pain started?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually skeletal: Sudden sharp pain with movement, even eating a sandwich, are usually caused by a motion that places structures in tension- joints, tendons, muscles, and ligaments. These also resolve very quickly. Other problems, such as infections or arthritis, slowly appear, but can be first noticed with movement, but will not go away. If it persists, you can contact healthtap or your physician for evaluation
