I have been cracking my wrists, and now it hurts?!
Question: I have been cracking my wrists, and now it hurts?
So I can crack my left wrist easily, and it feels reeeeally good when I do it. I usually do it like 2 times a day. I just found out I could do it like 2 weeks ago. I just did it a minute ago, and now it hurts. It only hurts a tiny bit, like it's sore. Is cracking your wrist bad for you? And don't even bother saying that I'm going to get arthritis, because I know for a fact that that is false.
Answers:
generally cracking is just fluid/air movement in joints. occasionally you might move a tendon in the process or move a nerve fiber which would hurt.
wait a little bit, ice it, try not to crack your wrist for a while.
if it persists you might want to check for some sort of stress fracture or carpal tunnel
