What Causes Severe Pain In The Hand?
Hello, I am 12 years of age and in my right hand i have been experiencing aching which seems to feel as if the bones and veins hurt and feels slightly numb and sometimes tingles. This causes incredible pain and the weakness in my hand can barely hold onto a pencil for a few seconds without dropping. The areas where this is affected is the palm, back of my hand as well as where the pulse is (inner wrist). My family and myself have googled symptoms and cant seem to find a end result of what my hand is feeling. Thank you.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe pain in the hand. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like carpal tunnel syndrome , ganglion , trigger finger or thumb , fracture or tendinitis . I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on hand thrice a day , give proper rest to his hand , do gentle massage with almond oil and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy .
