Severe pain when twisting right arm wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be seen: Multiple potential causes. An exam and appropriate imaging studies would likely show the cause. When you “twist” your wrist, you are rotating through the distal radial/ulnar joint. There can be abnormakities in the joint or that general area that can cause pain. Don’t hesitate to be seen for an accurate diagnosis.
