What Causes Pain While Bending The Wrist?

When I bend my wrist, the part between the hand and the arm starts hurting. Pushing against a closed fist is fine, but when the palm is open, and pressure is applied, it feels as if something has been stuck into this area. What is this, and what kind of treatment would you suggest?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

The fact that your pain is occuring with movements indicates a muscle strain. Any strained muscle when stretched gives severe pain.

I advice you to follow the below mentioned guidelines -

* Give adequate rest to the involved muscle group and avoid any movement that causes pain
* Ice packing once in every 2 hours over the affected area
* Moist heat application to relax the muscles
* Local application of muscle relaxant gel
* Analgesic medications as needed

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
