“Wrist pain when trying to move hand. What should I do?”
After doing my daily push ups, I can't move my wrist properly and have some pain in that area. Do you think I need an X-ray for this? I don't think it's broken, but it's concerning me since I feel like I can't do much for it.

Yes you should have it looked at by a hand specialist, especially if you have a history of a bad wrist sprain at any time in your past.
They can examine you and check x-rays and sometimes an MRI to look for ligament problems, problems with the wrist bones or a ganglion.

It is important to always seek a medical evaluation by a licensed professional to ensure it is not the manifestation of something more serious. You also want to seek help sooner rather than later to prevent any further damage to the area.
If it is bothering you, then I would suggest you see a hand/wrist specialist. You should at the least get it checked out and get an X-ray to make certain that this will not be more of a problem in the future.
Yes, it’s worth an evaluation by a hand surgeon including an X-ray. There are several possibilities of what may be causing these symptoms.
Good luck!
