i started having pain in my right wrist about three weeks ago. i play field hockey so i thought that i might have slightly bruised the bone. the problem is, it has gotten worse: my wrist tingles sometimes, the skin is bruised, it is a little bit swollen, and it cracks or pops if i move it. i have a velcro wrap around it and tape it and ice it... but what do you think it is?

definitely should go to the doctors...possibly x-rayed
small fracture, sprained wrist, carpel tunnel, a lot can go wrong with your wrist...
i would say go to the doctor asap!

Could be a lot of things. Are you on the computer or game for hours? I put a thick cushion under my wrist(s) at the keyboard & the mouse, this helped me & I had exactly the symptoms you described. the cracks & pos are probably due to the swelling. Besides taking aspirin for the inflamation & pain, you're doing all the right things. Maybe try to give it a rest, if you figure out what repetivie movement is causing or continuing to irritate. good luck.

Go get an X-ray. There are 8 bones in the wrist. The scaphoid is most often fractured. Go get it looked at before you won't be able to use your wrist.

intense texting can often reason sore wrists (my sister sends 5 thousand texts a month and now if she does a handstand or something that places alot of tension on her wrist it will harm for days)

Could be a small fracture from an injury received when you were playing hockey, or it could be repetitive strain injury or even carpel tunnel syndrome. Get it checked out.
