Hi Jessica,

Are you doing any repetitive work? It may be carpal tunnel sydrome. If so, stop what you are doing. Better yet, check with a doctor.

Hi Jessica,

Are you a fine-boned person and possibly.. have you injured that wrist playing tennis or falling before the symptoms started? Were you arm wrestling with your boyfriend? or weightlifting?

You may be causing an impingement on a nerve in the
carpal tunnel or the other passageway where your wrist tendons pass through a boney passageway. If it is a tendonitis, then a wrist brace to prevent movement
while the inflammation subsides, might be wise.
Have you tried aspirin to see if it reduces the pain
and tightness? It could even be a hairline fracture
from a bad bump that you had weeks ago.

Have you considered a Dexa bone scan to look for any cracks or bone loss?

Take care...
Ron
