If you're unloading boxes that weigh about 30lbs a piece and a guy is throwing them to you and he throws it to far to your side: don't try to catch it. If you do you will simply end up catching it awkward and smashing your wrist into the corner of another box leaving your wrist in an awkward pain for over a week and it will create a popping sensation in that wrist upon any movement.

Thank you. That is all.

That is the kind of stuff that made me go back to school for my doctoral degree... I didn't wanna do warehouse work anymore. Though, now that I think about it, I'm not sure a doctoral degree in music composition is really gonna get me anything but a warehouse job.

Well, I'm still working on my degree and it isn't a warehouse job...food service. My manager has the same degree as you though!

Saturday I have to go see a corpsman...I find that out about 30 secs before I find out I'm missing a PFT. Loooovely.

Shouldn't affect the run or situps much...but the pullups might suck...
Hope it's feeling better man.

The popping is from build of up of excess fluids.

its going to take MONTHS for it to start feeling right. I did the same thing to my wrist when i was lifting weights back in February. Its now December, and it is finally feeling 'normal' - almost.

If nothing is broken, perhaps a Cortizone shot will help relieve the pain and inflamation.

Vicodin did the trick for the pain temporarily. Accoording to the specialist I FINALLY saw after dealing with it for a weak, the problem is that the muscles in my forearm have all swollen up around the tendons. The pain (and popping sensation) is coming from the tendons popping in and out of the muscles. He gave some sort of prescription medication for the inflammation and I've got vicodin for when the pain becomes just a little bit to much. He said the cure is immobility and time.
