A member asked:

My right wrist feels terrible, when i bend my hand down, it hurts quite a bit not when i bend it back though. its affecting how i grab things. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrist pain: Did you injure this wrist within the past week? Could it be an overuse syndrome from housework or your occupation? If the wrist tender, swollen or reddened, inflammation/infection would be suspected. If not, simple resting of the wrist should help. Inflammatory conditions should be evaluated by a physician.
