Elbow, Wrist and Hand Pain Treatment.

Carpal Tunnel: A condition known as carpal tunnel affects the median nerve as it travels through the wrist and into the hand. In addition to weakness and loss of dexterity, especially in the thumb, sufferers frequently experience numbness and/or pain in the hand, occasionally into the forearm. It might be linked to repetitive tasks, but it can also occur during pregnancy or in connection with diseases like hypothyroidism and diabetes. Additionally, the illness may be predisposed by issues with the neck and upper back.

Tennis elbow: is more prevalent than golfer’s elbow, yet, contrary to what the names suggest, both injuries are more often the result of overuse from various hobbies, sports, or activities. A single trauma, like a quick, abrupt tug on the forearm can sometimes bring on the symptoms. Once the pain begins, regular routines and behaviors can perpetuate the issue. Tennis or golfer’s elbow can be more common if there are underlying neck, wrist, or shoulder issues that may not be uncomfortable in and of themselves.

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: It is often caused by repetitive thumb use, which inflames the tendons at the base of the thumb on the side of the wrist and causes pain that can travel up the forearm. This discomfort is more prevalent in activities like golfing, office work, playing an instrument, or manual labour like carpentry and is frequently made worse by repetitive lifting, gripping, or twisting motions of the hand.

Referred forearm, wrist, and hand pain: When pain is felt in a location other than the site of the original injury, such as the neck or upper back,

Sprained wrists or fingers are most frequently caused by falls or rapid twisting motions that cause the joints to bend abnormally.
