Chronic Hand & Wrist Pain

The human hand and wrist are very delicate structures comprised of dozens of bones, muscles, and cartilage that can be impacted due to a variety of reasons. Our hands allow us precise, dexterous movement, which makes them more prone to injuries when overused. While diagnosing hand and wrist pain can be challenging, it is essential to be as accurate as possible to provide proper treatment.

Causes of Hand & Wrist Pain

The symptoms of hand and wrist pain can vary depending on the root cause of the pain, and it can vary from a dull ache to a pins and needles sensation. Pain levels can range from mild to severe, and they can be temporary or chronic. Some of the most common illnesses and conditions that lead to shoulder pain include:

Carpal Tunnel

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a painful condition caused by the compression of the median nerve. The median nerve is responsible for providing sensory feedback to all fingers except the pinky. This nerve, which runs the length of the arm, goes through a small passage near the palm of your hand called the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include tingling, numbness, wrist pain, and muscle weakness.
Arthritis

Arthritis is the general term for the swelling of the joints and connective tissue of the body, causing tenderness and pain. Over a hundred different versions of arthritis have been identified, each with its causes and treatments. The symptoms of arthritis may occur suddenly or over an extended period and worsen as we age.
Tendinitis

Tendinitis is the inflammation or irritation of a tendon, a thick, fibrous cord that attaches bone to muscle. While inflammation can occur in any of the tendons in the body, it is more likely to develop in the knees, elbows, shoulders, and wrists. While it can occur as the result of a sudden injury, tendinitis is more commonly caused by repeated movements and minor impacts on the affected area.
Strains & Sprains

Traumatic injuries to your hands and wrists can result in painful sprains, strains, and even bone fractures. These can be painful disorders that, if left untreated, can worsen over time and develop into chronic pain conditions. Receiving the appropriate medical attention after becoming injured is vital in ensuring a smooth road to recovery.
