What Is Wrist Pain?
Wrist pain is discomfort in the joint that connects your hand to your forearm. It can be sharp, dull, burning, or throbbing, and might come with swelling, stiffness, or numbness. The pain may appear suddenly due to injury or develop slowly over time from overuse.
They often lead to back pain, neck pain, limited movement, and nerve-related symptoms such as numbness or tingling in the arms or legs.
Common Causes of Wrist Pain

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (compressed nerve in the wrist)
Arthritis (rheumatoid or osteoarthritis)
Sprains or fractures from falls or accidents
Tendonitis (inflammation of tendons)
Ganglion cysts (fluid-filled lumps near joints)
De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (affecting thumb-side tendons)
Symptoms to Watch
