Tufty Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Every time I rotate my hand around my wrist it make a loud click. If I rotate my had around my wrist very slowly it doesn't do it, but that's only when I do it very slowly. Is this something I should get checked by my doctor or could affect me in later life? EDIT: It seems it doesn't happen when I rotate my had with a closed fist if that's any help. Edited November 2, 2011 by Tufty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonsGoMOO Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 If you're concerned, get it checked out. We're not doctors. At least get it checked out for sure if the problem becomes worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxPx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Does it hurt? Or does it just click? Google "hand stretches"...see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll Google "hand stretches" to see if it comes up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxPx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sometimes, especially if I'm gaming too much, my wrists will get sore. And I need to stretch them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Tom Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Mine does it alot. Doesn't appear to be anything serious, just popping. I put mine down to having my hands in certain positions for extended periods of time. Edited November 2, 2011 by Angry Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
final1980 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have this same issue I went to a doctor and it's either carpal tunnel or start of arthritis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tufty Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 I have this same issue I went to a doctor and it's either carpal tunnel or start of arthritis. I don't think it's that. I Googled it on a health website. I don't match any of the symptoms, or any of the usual causes. Besides, it says if usually affect people aged 30-60 and usually female. Since I'm a 17 year old guy I feel a bit more reassured. I'm going to wait for a bit and see if it goes away. If not then I'll get it checked if I actually care about it by then.

MxPx Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Doesn't that only affect women after their menopause? Not necessarily. It's just a lack of calcium...body starts stealing calcium from the bones, making them weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksand06 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I am currently attending chiropractic college and am a year and a half into my studies. My opinion is: as long as you are not experiencing any pain within the normal range of motion of your wrist, the clicking is normal. The clicking is coming from your carpals moving past each other and any "catch/stick" you may feel during the wrist roll is probably tendons from muscles in your forearm sliding over these bones. Without going into any pathology, none of the diseases or conditions anyone has mentioned should be a factor in this instance. This can also occur in the ankles where you have similar small bones called tarsals. These also move past each other and will sometimes pop within normal ranges of motion. Like I said before, just my opinion. It just seemed like a perfect time for me to jump in on the conversation! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker0fLife Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Haha, I've had this in both my wrists for about 8 years now. If I turn my hand to a certain angle and make a gun with my hand, I can act like I'm shooting someone with a pop gun Doubt it's anything serious.
