Wrist pain can be caused by a number of factors, from inflammation to injury. In most cases, wrist pain is not indicative of a serious condition and will resolve itself with rest and over-the-counter medication.
However, there are some cases where wrist pain can be a sign of a more serious problem. If the pain is accompanied by swelling, redness, or numbness, it may be indicative of an infection or inflammation.
Additionally, if the pain is severe or lasts for more than a week, it is important to see a doctor as this could be a sign of arthritis or another degenerative disease.
Finally, if you experience any sudden onset of wrist pain, especially after an injury, it is important to seek medical attention as this could be a sign of a fracture or other damage to the bones.
While most wrist pain is not cause for concern, it is important to be aware of the signs that indicate a more serious problem.
