what did I do to my wrist?

Question

Over the past week my wrist has been causing me pain which has gotten more painful. The pain occurs even when I may have picked up something with little weight and an hour later it still hurts. I get pain when I roll my wrist and when I flatten my had and extend my thumb out which makes the pain go down my arm and stops at my elbow. The only thing i can think of that could have caused this is I watch two one year olds one is 15 months and 20 pounds and a 17 month that weighs about 35 pounds, when i lift them i use strictly my arms when i pick them up. I used to pick them up using my back and arms but kept pulling muscles in my back and it makes it hard when the baby gate that I lift them over is a little taller than my waist. But I know the pain gets worse when I pick them up. So my question is what did I do to my wrist..I have no swelling or bruising just pain that on a scale from 1-10 would be anywhere between a 5-7 depending on what I am doing.

You must have pulled some muscles in your affected wrist.  You should go see a doctor and ask him whether you should consider taking a break from the kids for a week.  When you feel better, practice stretching your arms and wrists before picking up anything heavy and also lift with your knees.

extreme texting can often reason sore wrists (my sister sends 5 thousand texts a month and now if she does a handstand or something that places alot of stress on her wrist it will harm for days)

it probably is something with the two kids, although they don't weigh much yet, so it shouldn't be them

if its just one wrist, you probably slept on it funny or ripped a muscle in it

anyways, go to the doctor to get it checked out if its giving you a lot of problem
