What Causes Weakness And Pain In Wrist?
I would like to know what may be causing the onset of wrist pain that started yesterday. My wrist is now weak and is painful. I haven t fallen or done anything to cause the pain or weakness. I have experienced this same weakness before but not to this extent.

Hello,
I have studied your case with diligence.
There is possibility of inflammatory arthritis of wrist.
When such patients come to our hospital I advise them blood test like RA factor, ACCP, ESR, complete blood count, HLA B27 and x ray wrist.
Rheumatoid arthritis may involve small joints and early morning stiffness in joints, does you have such complain?
A treatment regimen for Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis involves medication, exercise, good posture practices, and other treatment options such as applying heat/cold to help relax muscles and reduce joint pain.
NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are sometimes prescribed in more severe cases.
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
