Symptoms and Causes of Hand & Wrist Pain

Wrist and hand pain can take a number of forms. You may have difficulty performing tasks such as making a fist or picking up an object without pain, or you may experience nerve pain traveling through your hand or wrist or even up through your arm. Other symptoms may include weakness, tingling, and numbness throughout the wrist or hand.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common cause of pain in the hands and wrists. Typically the result of overuse in activities such as using a computer, carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve running through the wrist is compressed due to swelling, fracture, or other issues.

  • Trigger finger
