For as long as i can remember I've always had dodgy wrists. They always crack when i move them and if i put too much pressure on them then it hurts to move my hand for ages after. recently my wrists keep coming out of place. It's horrible and I don't know if i should be concerned or not? please help
This sounds like Joint Hypermobility Sydrome. I have the same things...and extreme range of motion in most of my joints, elbows and knees "bend backwards", and ALL my joints crack and pop ALL THE TIME. Along with that is my joints dislocate and subloxate really easily...especially my shoulder joints, usually while I'm sleeping. Go see a rhumetologist to rule out other connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos, and they will also likely refer you to a physical therapist.
If both of your wrists are doing this then it's not likely from an injury. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome...which basically means my body doesn't produce collagen correctly. My joints are lax/loose and the problem started with my wrists. They began subluxing (partial dislocating) and then dislocating. Years later it spread to all of my joints and now I'm a hot mess lol. You should definitely contact your doctor and set up an appointment...preferably with a rheumatologist. They can run various tests and get you on the right track before permanent damage is done. Good luck and I hope you get helpful answers to your problem soon!
