Pain in the hand or wrist is a common problem that can arise from overuse, trauma, or as a result of, for example, carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain's tenosynovitis, rheumatoid arthritis, or inflammation of the tendon sheath. Wrist pain often affects both mobility and strength, making the right assistive devices important in both everyday life and recovery.
Common symptoms of hand and wrist pain:
-
Pain in the wrist or hand, especially with movement or strain.
-
Stiffness and swelling of the wrist, sometimes associated with sudden pain.
-
Numbness, tingling or muscle weakness in the fingers or thumb, often related to the median nerve and carpal tunnel.
-
Creaking sensation on movement, sign of inflamed tendons.
-
Tenderness and stiffness in the wrist and around the wrist joints.
-
Painful wrist and thumb with monotonous movements or tendonitis.
Causes of hand and wrist pain
Pain in the wrist and hand can be caused by several factors:
-
Overexertion and repetitive movements (e.g. computer work or lifting)
-
Pinched nerve in the carpal tunnel - often associated with tingling, numbness and pain
-
De Quervain's tenosynovitis - an inflammation of the tendon sheath on the thumb side of the wrist
-
Trauma, stretching, or bleeding after falling or twisting
-
Rheumatoid arthritis or other systemic disease
- Influence on the distal part of the radius after fracture or sprain
