Last year when I started snowboarding, I remember falling pretty hard on my wrist on the 1st day. It hurt but I managed to get back up and keet going, the pain eventually subsided and was bothersome for about a week but I thought I had just sprained it or something. Well, here I am a yr. later with pain in my wrist-still. It is nothing extreme, just sort of annoying. I can almost feel a "popping," when pressing in a certain area. I can feel it crack often(it cracks loud when I move it a certain way), and will get sharp pains from the outside of my wrist to the outside of my elbow. They are not extremely painful in any way, which is probably why it has been a year. I have started to experience tingling from the far side of my wrist up into my hand. Again, nothing more than annoying. However, it has me wondering- could I have fractured it without realizing it? I mean, I think I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but could I have done something more than a sprain and now it has healed wrong? And if so, what am I supposed to do about it now? Should I have it checked by a doctor(X-ray) even if they might not be able to do anything? I’m starting tennis soon and am worried about it bothering me…

It happens in my dominant arm, it’s not painful but it’s disturbing. When something is put on my elbow, like pressure or even when I just lean it against the table, there’s this radiating feeling that goes from my elbow to my fingers.
I asked a friend and she told me it could be tennis elbow so I read about it but I don’t think it is.
IDK if there’s been trauma.. Probably? No it’s not associated with any pain–it never hurt. Just the feeling of ‘flowing electricity’ or at least that’s what I call it. Uhm no heat or swelling either. It really appears normal when you look at it. I’m 5’4", 58kgs and I’m so feeling well.
Anything to help me know what this is, I’ll gladly answer any queries. I’m planning to have it x-rayed but I want to at least have an idea what it would turn out to be.
Yes thank you so much.
I asked a friend from the US who’s a doctor but not a specialist in musculoskeletal disorders and she advised me to have it x-rayed. And she was also she was also the one who told me it could be tennis elbow. I’m from the Philippines btw. I just got kind of paranoid with this because I still haven’t solved my TMJ problem and now I’m having another unpleasant experience, probably involving skeletal system again. Some 6 years ago, I think, my x-ray result showed dextroscoliosis.

I am 15 and have been working out for about a year and a half and i have had this terrible elbow pain when i do any triceps or bench press. I took a break for around 4 to 5 months and started back up slowly. its still very painful even after the break. I also took an x-ray and blood inspection and they both came back good. I am done with trial and error and im just looking for an answer. PLEASE HELP

I see these questions all the time and I realize that there is no way an internet audience can accurately say whether or not your bones are fractured. But I am just looking for opinions on whether I should wait it out a little longer, or just suck it up and get an x-ray. I really hate having to wait for hours at the doctors though to just have them say that its a sprain and I need to ice it.

Anyway, on to the problem. We have this evil cable cord lying on the ground that I have been bugging everyone in the house to help me figure out how to get it out of the way, well yesterday (it was still laying there evilly) and I tripped over it and fell forward. I put my hands out (instinctively, and obviously since that is the natural reaction) and my left elbow made this loud popping sound and I doubled over in pain. Well today I have no swelling, and both elbows are sore but my right elbow is not even a concern since its not even comparing to my left elbow. It hurts right where the radial head attaches to the elbow joints if you touch it, and when I straighten or bend my arms it is also painful. But here’s the deal, it is very painful but its nothing compared to the pain I felt when I broke my arm so I am wondering if its just a torn ligament or a fractured radial head. Like I said, there is no swelling, but on the opposite side of my elbow there is a very small bruise there. I have no deformities. Do radial fractures generally hurt really bad? If they do, then I am not concerned.

Also, if it turns out to be a radial head fracture what do they do? Do they just splint it? If that’s the case I already have a sling I can use, so I would rather save my insurance for something more important then just wasting my entire Saturday to have them tell me to sling it and ice it.

Sorry for the super long, boring question! ^_^ Any comments would be greatly appreciated though.

I’m 23 year old. One month ago I started having joint pain without swelling (knee, wrist, elbow, ankle) after waking up in the morning. It’s so hard for me to wake up and I feel like I’ve never slept at all. Then my body is weak and tired for the whole day. I’ve checked my blood (Calcicum, ASLO, RF, TSH, T4, VSS, GGT), urine and taken X-ray of all my joints. The results are all good. I’ve tried to rest and exercise regularly but I still could not recover. All the doctors I have visited told me that my symptoms are caused by stress. Is it true ? I don’t think my life is too stressful to make me sick like that. Pls help me. I feel so bad because I could not start my work due to my weakness.

I give you my historical heaIth. I’ve had rheumatis fever when I was 13 year old. I’ve taken penicillin one table per day until now. 3 years ago I’ve cut my tonsil because it caused me sore throat all the time. After this operation, my sore throat is not too serious but I still have everyday.
