Hand and Wrist Pain


Chopping vegetables, angling for trout, falling during an athletic activity — there's practically no end to the ways you can hurt your wrists. In fact, hand pain and wrist pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints that doctors see.

Hand and Wrist Pain in Bicyclists

Mountain bikes are still the rage. But their handlebars can trigger hand and wrist injuries such as "handlebar palsy," a painful inflammation of the ulnar nerve that runs from your arm into your hand. Formally known as ulnar neuropathy, "handlebar palsy" can cause numbness, tingling, and pain in the arm, hand, wrist, and little finger.

Consult your physician and/or your physiotherapist and find a good wrist brace.
