Wrist pain

Wrist pain may vary, depending on the cause. For example, osteoarthritis pain is often described as being similar to a dull toothache, while carpal tunnel syndrome usually causes a pins-and-needles feeling or a tingling sensation, especially at night in your thumb, index, and long fingers. The precise location of your wrist pain also provides clues to what’s behind your symptoms.
