Wrist pain

Wrist pain is often caused by sprains or fractures from sudden injuries that may occur after a fall or during sports. It can also result from long-term problems, such as repetitive stress, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Because so many factors can lead to wrist pain, diagnosing the exact cause can be difficult, but an accurate diagnosis is essential for proper treatment and healing.
