Dr. Amit Garud, orthopedic & joint replacement surgeon in Kalyan, explains, “Wrist pain isn’t just from injuries — it’s often the result of repetitive strain or underlying conditions that go unnoticed.”
Wrist pain can stem from:
– Repetitive strain: Typing, texting, or lifting without breaks can inflame tendons and nerves
– Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve causes numbness, tingling, and pain
– Arthritis: Rheumatoid or osteoarthritis leads to joint inflammation and stiffness
– Injuries: Falls or sudden impact may cause sprains, fractures, or ligament tears
– Ganglion cysts: Fluid-filled lumps that press on nerves and limit movement
– Tendonitis: Inflammation from overuse or poor wrist posture
– Kienbock’s disease: A rare condition where poor blood supply causes bone damage
Studies show 13.4% of workplace musculoskeletal disorders involve the wrist. Early diagnosis and ergonomic care can prevent long-term damage.
