Common Causes of Wrist, Finger and Hand Pain

Due to the fragility of these areas, a number of degenerative conditions and injuries can result in radiating and throbbing pain in the hands, wrists and even extend into the fingers. Here are some common causes of hand-related injuries.

Strains and Sprains

When a strong force impacts the hand or wrist suddenly, small muscles, tendons and ligaments can become partially torn causing one or more sprains or strains in the wrist and hands. These types of injuries are common in car accidents, sporting injuries, work incidents and slip-and-fall occurrences.

Dislocation and Fractures

Like sprains and strains, fractures are often attributed to some type of blunt-force trauma to the hands and wrists that cause the tender bones to suffer from hairline fractures. Dislocations often result when the wrist, hand or fingers are suddenly ‘yanked’ out of place. Both typically result in serious swelling and bruising and significant pain that can persist even after fractures and dislocations have healed.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

When the passageway in the wrist narrows and compresses on the median nerve, symptoms like numbness, tingling and weakness can affect the hand and radiate throughout the fingers. Often this condition is related to tendinitis, which is typically sourced by nerve damage and constrictions that cause weakness through the arm.

De Quervain Syndrome

Commonly called ‘text thumb,’ this syndrome often results from repetitive motions such as typing, using the thumb excessively on phones, etc. Stiffness, fine motor control problems, and weakness are common symptoms of De Quervain Syndrome.
