Wrist pain

[Annab124]

Anyone else get bad wrist pain

[Mary-intussuception]

Yes.

Have you seen GP to ask about xray?

Hi Mary-intussuception,

Are you by any chance a vegan, or lack in vit D.

I have the same issues, suffer from the above due to allergies, struggle very badly with the pain, mainly all over in all my joints.

I wear those tennis players sweat bands, to keep my wrists supported, also some elbow support which really helps. Pointless seeing the GP as they just put it down to FM or osteoporosis. 😇

I'm not the poster! But following xray was referred to Orthopaedics Hand Specialist & Hand Therapist in Physio Department.

How is making sweeping generalisation about GPs helpful?

If you have Osteoporosis you should want to know about it (have scan ) .

I've not heard of allergies causing wrist pain - have you been tested for allergies ?

The pain could be caused by osteoarthritis. In some cases carpal tunnel syndrome. Could be another reason - that's why it's best to see a Specialist.

No one on here can diagnose - just share their experiences and offer support.

I understand that Osteoarthritis in the thumb is common in older women.

Hi,

I get wrist pain but I have been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. When I had it diagnosed some years ago, I was given some wrist braces to wear at night when the pain was bad and it helps a bit.

I also have pain I have to wear braces during the days my wrists are quite weak also I have and office job so typing is hard 8 hours a day so I think this is the issue for me I had seen a specialist and had several ganglias which they used a needle to get rid of them but they keep coming back I would speak to your go about a scan just to see if anything else is going on

[Hidden in reply to Jamie1965]

Is the typing making it worse?

[Jamie1965 in reply to Hidden]

Yes after an hour but by the time I get home they are very sore but I’m in so much pain after a day at the office I take my meds and try rest other wise would be in tears

[Hidden in reply to Jamie1965]

I don't know how you stick it, but I admire the fact that you do.

[Jamie1965 in reply to Hidden]

It's the median nerve being compressed. Look up carpal tunnel syndrome
