What's wrong with my wrist?? Lots of pain, no bruising or swelling.
I cannot bend my wrist forward or backwards due to a severe amount of pain. I can move it sideways (imagine waving with just your hand from left to right) with less pain. It feels stiff and sore when I don't move it. There is no swelling and no bruising. Compared to my other wrist, the underside feels almost 'mushy', compared to the tight feeling of muscles/tendons in my other wrist. What's wrong? I did nothing to injure it, it just started hurting!

If you find out, please let me know. I have the same problem in my r wrist. It feels like I've broken my wrist. One dr said it was arthritis, but I've never had arthritis like this. The pain is severe, and I'm very limited as to what I can do now with this hand. My left wrist is painful too, but not nearly as bad as the right.

Hey there! I'm fairly sure I can help you here. I had the same problem and its really just being conscious of what causes it. It's very simple to prevent...and it takes a few days.
When you sleep...sleep in a way that forces your wrists to be straight and in line with your hands. Hands and wrists locked flat under the pillow worked for me. Do this every night and be conscious of it. Think to yourself "I need to keep my wrist straight while I sleep." It totally works!
If you can't do that, simply go buy a splint or wrist guard. Thank me later. ;o)
Good luck.

Sorry I didn't explain...but what happens is that when you're asleep...you probably contort your wrist(s) when you asleep. This stresses the all parts of your wrist because of the weight and pressure of your body or even just your head. I used to curl mine underneath my chin and complain to my chiropractor friend and he advise me on what to do and it worked! Good luck!
