Understanding Hand & Wrist Conditions
Hand and wrist problems can result from repetitive strain, injury, or age-related changes. Common conditions include:
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand.
- Trigger Finger: Inflammation of the tendons causing fingers to lock or catch when bent.
- Arthritis of the hand or wrist: Joint wear and inflammation leading to stiffness and pain.
- Tendon and ligament injuries: Often caused by overuse or trauma, reducing grip and movement.
Left untreated, these conditions can progress, making simple tasks increasingly difficult.
Signs You Should Seek Help
Professional evaluation may be needed if you experience:
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hands or fingers
- Fingers that lock, catch, or stay bent (trigger finger)
- Pain that worsens with repetitive activities such as typing or gripping
- Reduced grip strength or difficulty holding objects
- Persistent stiffness or swelling in the wrist or fingers
- Pain that interferes with sleep or daily work
