For the past week or two I've had a really sharp pain in my left wrist. It doesn't hurt when I bend it forward...only when I bend it back and put pressure on it (like if I lean on it). It also hurts when I type occasionally. I haven't really noticed any numbness or anything and I'm almost positive that it's not an injury. Does anyone know what this could be?
Answer:sounds like a repetitive motion injury (AKA carpal tunnel) to me. Try the splint and lots of Naprosyn or other anti-inflammatory, and rest it!
go get a wrist splint at the drug store, wear it while on the computer and when you sleep.. sounds like onset carpal tunnell or tendonitis..a wrist splint will really help..it helped me in this situation
Carpel tunnel

This could be because of muscle fatigue or dehydration. Try exercising all parts of your body. It also sometimes is due to disuse atrophy. Try out some home remedies. You can also look for information in the web that give you home remedies. I found this website very useful. http://aches.in/cramps.html
It is the muscles as far away as your back that are tight, with knots called trigger points.
