About a month ago I started having popping in my wrist. It was only when any pulling or pushing was applied to my hand, so I wasn't concerned. But about a week ago it has started to crack and have a grinding-type sound every time i move it. I have put an ACE bandage on it and used heat rubs like BenGay to try to reduce the discomfort, but I haven't seen improvement yet. I try not to use it as much as possible, but since I'm right-handed and I'm at school everyday, it's hard not to. I'm only 16 and I don't think I have arthritis, does anyone have an idea of what it could be?

you should make it a point to see your chiropractic doctor soon to determine what the problem is.
it's likely that there is a misalignment of the bones in the hand. There are 22 bones in each hand/wrist, so you can see where this could be sensitive.
I have helped a few people with their wrist/hand problems.

quit moving the wrist and get it xrayed. the grinding sound could be bone ends rubbing together.

It's probably just from writing too much. Mine is like that too (I'm also 16 at school).
