I have what appears to be a part of a bone protruding on my right upper wrist area. (perhaps the the trapezium bone???) It is not painful unless I bend my wrist, especially back as when I push off a surface to rise from a sitting position. I dug holes with a bulb digger a few days ago and stressed both hands and wrists, but didn t notice the protrusion until today after flexing my sore hands. I heard a small pop which may or may not be related. Should I be concerned?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you. A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with x-ray of both hands with wrists. As the occupation you are doing may lead to repetitive strain and stress of the wrist joint movements. This kind of shifting of the carpal bones is called the move mental changes in the anatomical position. Since the pain is only when you perform to apply weight while getting up from a chair, using a wrist brace while performing work should provide an additional stability of the carpal bones and avoid the future control of the impact happening due to repetition of movements.
