What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation In Wrist And Numbness In Fingers?
Question: Hi, my wrist started to hurt about a month ago , whenever i grabbed anything i feel a snapping amd burning semsation. Also tips of fingers seem like they go numb alot but is gradually getting worse. A few days ago I noticed a lump on the inside of my wrist.. It's almost in the center, just off to the left of my wrist. Doesn't feel like a hard lump..any ideas? I am a painter/ sandblaster so I do put alot of stress on my hands
Brief Answer:
Tendonitis likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Most probable reason for your symptoms could be tendonitis of wrist and hand as you put a lot of stress on your wrist. The lump that you noticed can be a ganglion cyst.
Medications like methylcobalamin and analgesics will reduce pain. If pain is severe a neurotropic like pregabalin can be added, you can take them after consulting your doctor.
Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- wrist rotation, elbow movement, shoulder rotation, neck rotation, and fist open and close.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
