What Causes Wrist Pain And Cold Fingers?
Question: I get this pain in my wrist. Just a dull pain. I do have very cold fingers. I don't play sports or do difficult work.
Brief Answer:
Cold fingers indicate towards vascular occlusion.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in wrist, or local nerve compression like in carpal tunnel syndrome.
Cold fingers indicate towards vascular occlusion.
Wrist pain can be due to tenosynovitis, clinical examination can help in diagnosis and further investigation can be advised.
If you can give further details then I can help you better.
Pain is only at wrist? Pain increases on work or in night?, fingers are turning blue/ischemic?
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
