Wrist pain
Wrist pain can result from various conditions, including:
- Tendonitis: Tendonitis is the inflammation of tendons that connect muscles to bones.
Wrist tendonitis is common in individuals who perform repetitive hand movements, such as typing on a keyboard or playing an instrument. - Carpal tunnel syndrome: This condition occurs when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed, leading to pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand.
- Wrist fracture: Wrist fractures are common in falls, car accidents and sports trauma.
- Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are two primary causes of wrist pain.
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include physiotherapy, medication, injections, and, in severe cases, surgery. It is important to consult a specialist to determine the cause of the pain and receive appropriate treatment.
