What You Need to Know About Wrist & Hand Pain
Understanding Wrist and Hand Pain
The wrist and hand are made up of multiple joints, muscles, tendons and nerves that work together to allow precise movement and control.
Pain can arise from irritation or overload of these structures, and in some cases may be influenced by movement patterns involving the elbow, shoulder or neck.
Common symptoms include:
- Pain when gripping, lifting or typing
- Stiffness or reduced movement in the wrist or fingers
- Tingling or numbness in the hand
- Weakness or reduced grip strength
- Discomfort during repetitive tasks
Common Causes of Wrist and Hand Pain
There are several conditions that can affect the wrist and hand.
These may include:
- Tendon irritation or overuse injuries
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- De Quervain’s tenosynovitis
- Joint stiffness or osteoarthritis
- Ligament strain or soft tissue injury
These conditions often develop due to repetitive activities, changes in workload or prolonged positions.
