Wrist Pain — Which Doctor Should I See?

Common causes include sprains, strains, carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, tendinitis, and fractures. Repetitive activities and sports injuries are frequent culprits.

Seek medical attention if pain is severe, persists beyond two weeks, limits your ability to function, follows an injury, or is accompanied by swelling, redness, or numbness.

Rest the wrist, apply ice for 15-20 minutes, use compression bandages, elevate your arm, and take over-the-counter pain relievers. Avoid repetitive activities that worsen symptoms.
