Hand and wrist pain refers to discomfort or pain experienced in the upper extremities, specifically in the hands and wrists. These areas are essential for daily activities and fine motor skills, and any pain or discomfort in the hand and wrist can significantly impact one's quality of life.

The hand and wrist are intricate structures comprising bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, allowing for a wide range of motions. Hand and wrist pain can manifest in several ways, including:

• Localized discomfort in the hand or wrist joint.
• Radiating pain that may extend to the forearm or even the shoulder.
• Swelling and inflammation of the hand or wrist.
• Difficulty gripping objects or performing everyday tasks.
• Numbness or tingling sensations in the hand or fingers.

The severity and duration of hand and wrist pain can vary, and it may be triggered or exacerbated by factors like overuse, injury, or underlying medical conditions. While mild pain can often be managed at home with rest and over-the-counter pain relief, severe or persistent pain may require medical evaluation and treatment. If your hand and wrist pain significantly impairs your daily life or mobility, seeking medical assistance, such as at Parvathy Multispeciality Hospital in Chennai, is advisable.
