Cause of Hand And Wrist Pain

 

De Quervains Tendonitis or Tenosynovitis

De Quervain's Tendonitis is the pain in the tendons that proceeds in the thumb side of the wrist following the base of the thumb. Persistent use of particular hand movement might hurt the covering around the tendon. If the covering gets irritated, the tendon can swell and restrict the movement of tendons through small tubes that connect them to the bottom of the thumb.

If the pain is minor it can be treated with medication and physical exercise. However, in rare cases, surgery is recommended. 

 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

A condition that causes tingling, numbness, and pain in the lower arm and hand is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. This condition occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it travels down the wrist.  Health problems and persistent hand motions can cause this condition.
