    • Does your tendon pop out of your wrist?

    The interconnectedness of the wrist is its strength and weakness alike. When the tendon in the wrist that connects the joint to the bone is damaged, it begins to rub over the bone or muscles in its way (instead of moving fluidly) and causes the “snapping” or “popping” sensation.

    Why is the bone in my wrist sticking out?

    Why does my wrist bone stick out? With osteoarthritis, the cartilage starts to wear away over time. In extreme cases, the cartilage can completely wear away, leaving nothing to protect the bones in a joint, causing bone-on-bone contact. Bones may also bulge, or stick out at the end of a joint, called a bone spur.
