My wrist has been hurting when I bend it most ways or put pressure on it, for three or four days now.

What could be wrong with it?

RSI too much typing on here
Which wrist....left or right?......Are you left or right handed?

Where abouts does it give pain?.....exact spot
oooh loads of things. if it doesnt clear up then go to see your GP for advice.

I don't knit.

I normally sleep with it between my two pillows but its never ended up like this.

I don't use my wrist much when i'm typing.

it's my left, and i'm left handed, which makes it more annoying. It hurts most of the way round the thinnest part, the bit literally where the arm meets the hand. But the bit that hurts the most is possibly the end of the ulna or the carpels, on the inside of my wrist, below my thumb.

I might do if it keeps hurting.
dont use wrist much when typing. Sorry do you detach your hands from your wrist???
I agree with recrx.......could be anything....take Ibuprofen 400mgms as and when necessary and if that hasn´t relieved the pain in a week, then go and see your GP.
does sound rather RSIish, though Sqad may be able to be more precise. You are almost certainly doing SOMEthing with your wrists as you type - moving them, elevating them, resting them on the desk (that causes problems), or they may just be getting referred pain from somewhere else. The fact that it's your writing hand suggests you may be overdoing something, and typing's a possibility.

I mainly use my right hand when typing . . .
Yeah but...
ah you type just with right?
are you ambidextrous molly - left-handed but use your right for typing?
Question Author
If I type with my left hand, I go far to fast and make even more mistakes than I would do normally.

But I haven't been writing much recently.

Emptying the dishwasher took twice aslong. It was hurting plus I didn't want to be holding something and it gave way and I dropped something.

So my left hand stays on the mouse, unless I have to do something like ctrl-alt-delete
I wish people would use 2 O's for the word too, so annoying!
Question Author
'far tOO fast' ? I only got Bs in english, that's my excuse.
No excuse Molly. My OH didn't even take his but manages 'too' instead of 'to'
Question Author
Plus i'm multi-tasking . . .
for heaven's sake, Molly has a wrist problem and people are grumbling because she saves a keystroke? Tut tut to all of you.
