Overcoming Wrist and Hand Pain
Wrist and Hand Pain refers to any discomfort, aching, or soreness that affects the wrist, hand, or fingers. It is a common issue that can vary in severity, from mild discomfort that interferes with daily tasks to chronic, debilitating pain that significantly impacts one's quality of life. This type of pain can be triggered by a wide range of factors, including injury, repetitive movements, medical conditions, or the natural wear and tear of joints and tissues over time.
Pain in the wrist or hand can be acute, which is short-term and often caused by sudden injuries like sprains, strains, or fractures. It can also be chronic, lasting for weeks, months, or even years, often resulting from ongoing issues like arthritis, repetitive motion, or nerve compression.
Common wrist and hand injuries include sprains (ligament tears), strains (muscle or tendon injuries), fractures (bone breaks), and dislocations (bones forced out of position). Tendon injuries like De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, stenosing tenosynovitis( trigger finger) and repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and (Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex) TFCC injury can also cause pain. Contusions result from direct blows, while ganglion cysts are fluid-filled lumps that may press on nerves. Each injury requires specific treatment depending on its severity.
