I am a massage therapist and during a session afew days ago I felt and heard 2 loud pops in my wrist. Now I have pain in my forearm whenever I move it and a deep bruised feeling in the center on the inside of my forearm. Could it be a serious injury and should I go to the doctors?
Hi, You seemed to have sprained your wrist by possibly by a heavy massage session. Please ice it. Use a compression bandage and take pain medications when necessary.  It will be better to elevate your hand above the heart level to avoid swelling. Mild to moderate sprains respond to this method, and you will get well soon after some wrist exercises.  If not better even after a week then there could be tear of the wrist ligaments which need an MRI and treatment according to the situation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
