10 Symptoms of a Sprained Wrist
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #7: Popping Sensation
A sprained wrist occurs when the ligaments supporting the joint are overstretched. The severity of this overstretching will determine the severity of the injury overall. Even a slight overstretching can still be very painful, while in some instances the ligaments can be torn altogether. In the most severe cases, it might even be necessary to perform surgery.
One symptom of a more serious sprain is a popping sensation when the hand is moved. Some patients will explain the symptom as a tearing sensation. Letting your doctor know this information can be important in helping you to get the right treatment.
