Suggest Treatment For Wrist Pain While Bending The Hand
when i bend my left hand up i have bad pain that goes down into my wrist, i believe this could be carpel tunnel and i should wear a brace.
Is this something that i need to have on all the time? is there anything else that i can do to help with the pain?

Hi,
If the pain increases on extension of wrist , there is a possibility of CTS. But also note whether the pain is in the area of median nerve distribution ( outer part of hand).There may be associated tingling and numbness in this region.
The diagnosis is clinical.But things can be confirmed by NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES.
