What Causes Pain In Bending A Wrist After Getting A Tattoo?
Hello, I received an inner wrist tattoo on Sunday afternoon this week and although it s healing well, I have associated throbbing pain when my wrist is lowered below my waist as well as when I bend my wrist backward. Is this normal pain after trauma from getting a tattoo?

Hello,
As due to trying out for tattoo there will be inflammation of the joint due to muscle injury. Doing icing will help reduce pain and post the 2 weeks of time you can do simple hand exercises to regain strength if the pain is persisting.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
