What to do if your wrist hurts

Many people suffer from wrist pain. In some cases, those who are involved in sports or games that use their hands, may also suffer from wrist injuries.

 That type of injury can cause:

1) Trauma can lead to broken bones, joint damage or ligament injuries.

2) People who work with their hands for long periods of time can develop nerve pain or carpal tunnel syndrome from pressure on a particular nerve in the wrist.

3) People suffering from long-term osteoarthritis may also experience pain or swelling in the wrists.

4) People who carry heavy weights in their hands or do heavy weight lifting while exercising, can get ligament injuries.

To do:

1) Those who work using their wrists for a long time should work with breaks. Especially for those who use the keyboard on the computer, it is better to keep the keyboard close to your waist and at the same time, while operating the keyboard, the elbows should be supported by a chair handle or something else.

2) For those who are suffering from hand pain due to sports, you can immediately soak your hand in ice pack or ice water from the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes. At the same time, all types of exercises using the wrist should be stopped. In case of a sudden injury, the hand may swell, in that case, instead of hanging the hand, you can use the elbow bag to hang the hand along the chest or at the level of the heart.

3) Pain medication can be taken on doctor's advice.

4) Regular wrist stretching exercise and specific wrist movement exercises should be done before hand pain is affected.
