Wrist pain

Wrist pain or open wrist is a syndrome inhibiting use of a hand due to pain in anatomical structures of the wrist. The pain may be sharp, sometimes steadily increasing after trying to apply force.

Pain may be caused after exerting the wrist, as may occur during weight lifting, in any weight-bearing or athletic activity, manual labor, or from injury to nerves, muscles, ligaments, tendons or bones of the wrist.^[1][2] Wrist pain may result from nerve compression, tendonitis, osteoarthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome.
