Carrie12345 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 It hurts sometimes, and it goes from a twinge to pain and weakness in about 24 hours, then lasts another 24 (with bracing.) No injury. Years ago, I dealt with pregnancy induced carpal tunnel in the other wrist, and this does not feel like that. This feels like I genuinely sprained/strained it, except I didn't. I haven't even lifted weights in a couple of weeks. This is probably the 3rd time it's happened in the past 6 months. No unusual activities or anything that I can connect.

PeachyDoodle Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Where is the pain? Does it hurt when you're doing any certain kind of movement? I have De Quervain's Tenosynovitis, and if it is flaring up it can cause sharp pains when I'm doing odd things, like trying to pull up the bed covers. The pain is mostly on the inside of my wrist, near the base of my thumb. I haven't had a major flare-up in a couple of years but I still usually have a general stiffness in that wrist. Mine was brought on by my workouts (weight lifting, kettlebells, stuff like push-ups and planks, etc.). It's a repetitive-use injury, so could be a result of your weightlifting, even if you haven't done any in the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I hurt my wrist once because it was bent at an awkward angle and my hand was tucked under while I was sleeping and apparently putting some weight on it. It felt like I had pulled something when I woke up and straightened it, and the ache didn't go away for several days. Using a mouse and other similar movements made it worse.

wintermom Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Are you doing any repetitive motions with it, or carrying something for long periods of time? Repetitive motions could be stacking wood, painting, etc. Even carrying something relatively light for long periods of time could fatigue some of the small muscles in the forearm crossing the wrist joint.

Barb_ Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I forget if you're perimenopausal age? I have the exact same thing. It comes and goes. Sometimes it's a weakness and other times it's pain. I didn't injure it. I don't hold my phone with one hand. I wonder if it could be hormone related.

Barb_ Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Actually the shoulder on that same side is also sore on and off. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyGF Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Wrist pain can be so weird. I thought I had carpal tunnel and it turned out to be a pinched nerve in the neck. Dishwashing triggers it. Other symptoms? Emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookbard Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Interesting thread. My wrist will hurt randomly too. Again I think it's to do with how I sleep, but I am wondering if it's hormonal as well, as I seem to have a number of weird hormonal things happening lately.

Dishwashing triggers it. Other symptoms? Emily Yes! I'm pretty sure I have ulnar nerve entrapment and had no idea it runs up and under the clavicle! It can cause pain from the shoulder to the elbow to the wrist and numbness in the pinky and ring finger (which I have). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulder, wrist and pinky but not elbow that I've noticed. Off to google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
