?What are some common causes of wrist and hand pain

Wrist and hand pain can result from a variety of factors, including overuse injuries such as repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), fractures, sprains, and ligament tears. Additionally, medical conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis (such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis), tendonitis, ganglion cysts, and nerve compression can also lead to wrist and hand pain.

?How can wrist and hand pain be effectively managed

Effective management of wrist and hand pain depends on the underlying cause. Treatment options may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief and inflammation reduction. Physical therapy, splinting, and ergonomic modifications can help alleviate symptoms and prevent further injury. In some cases, corticosteroid injections or surgical interventions may be necessary for more severe or persistent conditions. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are key to successful management of wrist and hand pain.
