Symptoms & Common Causes
Symptoms may include wrist pain, swelling, stiffness, reduced grip strength, clicking, tenderness, tingling or numbness. Causes include sprains, fractures, tendon irritation, repetitive strain, arthritis and nerve compression such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
How We Diagnose the Problem
Diagnosis includes a history of the activity or injury, examination of the wrist and hand, movement and nerve assessment. X-rays may be used after injury or when bone and joint changes are suspected; ultrasound, MRI or nerve studies may be considered for selected cases.
Treatment Options
Treatment can include activity modification, splinting when appropriate, physiotherapy, medicines, targeted injections or specialist pain-management procedures. Persistent instability, certain fractures or structural problems may require surgical assessment.
Recovery & When to Seek Help
Recovery depends on the cause and severity. Follow restrictions and rehabilitation guidance and gradually return to gripping or sport. Seek prompt assessment after a significant injury, deformity, severe swelling, loss of sensation or inability to move the wrist or fingers normally.
