Carpal tunnel syndrome: Pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and Wrist are symptoms of this typical hand condition. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an interval pressure condition that develops when the median nerve's canal becomes compressed due to swelling from repetitive motions or excess weight. Your Wrist is where this nerve passes, allowing your hand to sense and move.
TDe Quervain's Tendinitis: The Wrist's thumb side is painful in this condition. The wrist tendons near the base of the thumb are irritated or inflamed, causing the pain. Making a fist, grasping or holding something, or turning your Wrist might be painful.
More than 100 types of arthritis exist, many of which impact the Wrist. It can be challenging to use your wrist and indulge in things you enjoy.
Osteoarthritis of the Wrist causes eventual breakdown and loss of cartilage in one or more joints due to wear and tear over time. The base of the thumb might experience severe, excruciating pain from osteoarthritis. Additionally, the hand could weaken, making daily tasks challenging.
Rheumatoid arthritis of the Wrist is an autoimmune illness that develops when your immune system erroneously targets your body's tissues.
Psoriatic arthritis of the Wrist is an inflammatory condition which results in joint discomfort and swelling. The majority of patients also have psoriasis, a skin disorder that results in rashes that are red, scaly, and irritated.
Gout: It is a kind of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints, leaving them sore, painful, and swollen. Touching the affected joint could make it feel heated. Gout occurs when your bloodstream contains excessive uric acid, a by-product of food digestion.
Ganglion Cysts: The soft tissue cysts that most frequently form on the Wrist near the base of the back of the hand are the source of this wrist pain. Ganglion cysts may squeeze wrist nerves, resulting in nagging pain. However, these cysts frequently cause people to feel little to no pain.
Strain injury: The Wrist's ligaments may sprain if they overstretch. Pain and swelling are frequently the results of this muscle injury.
The severity of the symptoms of Wrist Pain may gradually develop over time, depending on the underlying cause. Initially, pain is experienced during specific activities. As the illness progresses, the discomfort may even be felt at rest. Additionally, numbness can worsen when a person loses their ability to sense heat or cold and may drop objects. When it comes to daily activities like holding, grasping, lifting, driving or eating, wrist pain can range from being slight and easily ignored to being severe and interfering with such activities. All the above-said conditions may restrict your daily activities, forcing you to take a break from daily activities and to use braces, supports or belts which hampers your overall body’s performance and ability to grip items in due course of time.
Let us now talk about what options you have when you are suffering from any of the above types of Wrist Pain conditions
People get relief by taking acetaminophen (like Anacin, Panadol, Tylenol) or Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Aspirin or Ibuprofen (like Advil, Motrin), or Naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprosyn). But remember, all these can cause rebound headaches which can be challenging to treat. And long-term usage affects kidneys and liver.
For many pain conditions, surgery becomes necessary. However, there are several side effects, and potential complications associated with surgery. With the advancement in medical fields, there is more focus on avoiding surgeries especially for elderly people.
Many neurologists suggest these types of pills. But be aware, these can be seriously habit-forming, and if you use them indiscriminately, they can be hard to leave.
This category of medicines, though prescribed by some physicians, also have a short-term symptomatic relief, but used alone for long time may still not address the underlying cause.
Many patients choose to have their own choice of easily available at home remedies like doing slow range of motion exercises; using ice/heat packs on affected area of Back; having massage; or else sleeping on a firm ground or using stiff mattress or pillow. While these natural things can be better than taking medicines, they still don’t cure you of the root cause, but merely focus on giving you temporary relief.
While Physiotherapy techniques like TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and IFT (Interferential therapy) alone may help in treating myofascial pains. But it is more effective if the underlying condition is addressed medically followed by physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
Avoiding headache triggers: Avoid the things that trigger your headaches if you are mindful of them, such as avoid skipping meals, caffeine, alcohol, or loud noise.
Thin needles are inserted into the body at particular areas in an effort to reduce pain in the affected area of Back. While these can be beneficial for some, but you need 5 to 8 weeks of sessions. These too may give you temporary relief only.
By assisting you in managing your stress, hypnosis, deep breathing, visualization, meditation, and yoga may all help you feel better. For tension headaches, it might be especially beneficial. Additionally, hypnosis may lessen your pain perception.
