Wrist Pain

Causes

Wrist pain can be caused by injuries, overuse, or conditions like arthritis. Common causes include carpal tunnel syndrome (pressure on a nerve), tendonitis (inflammation from repetitive use), and sprains or strains from twisting or trauma. Osteoarthritis can cause stiffness and pain, and ganglion cysts (fluid-filled lumps) may also cause discomfort. Fractures, infections, and other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to wrist pain. Proper diagnosis is key to treatment.

Ice: Apply an ice pack for 15-20 minutes several times a day to reduce swelling and inflammation.
Heat: Use a warm compress or heating pad to relax muscles and improve circulation, especially after the first few days.
Gentle Stretching: Do light wrist stretches to improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.
Wrist Support: Wear a wrist brace or splint to provide support and reduce strain on the joint.
Elevate: If there is swelling, keep the wrist elevated to help reduce it.
