Wrist Pain
Wrist pain refers to discomfort, pain, or inflammation in the wrist area. The wrist is a complex joint that connects the hand to the forearm, consisting of various bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Wrist pain can result from many causes and may be acute or chronic.
Some common causes of wrist pain include:
Strains and Sprains: Overuse or sudden movements can cause strains or sprains in the wrist, leading to pain and swelling.
Fractures: A break or fracture in any of the bones in the wrist, such as the radius or ulna, can cause significant pain.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist can lead to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers.
Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons, which connect muscles to bones, can occur in the wrist and cause pain. De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a specific type of tendonitis that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist.
Arthritis: Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis can cause inflammation and pain in the wrist joint.
Ganglion Cysts: These are non-cancerous lumps filled with fluid that can develop along the tendons or joints of the wrist, causing pain or discomfort.
Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): Activities that involve repetitive wrist movements, such as typing or using a mouse for long periods, can lead to RSIs and wrist pain.
Infections and Injuries: Wrist pain can also result from injuries, infections, or inflammation in the surrounding tissues.
