Which of the following are the most common causes of Wrist pain?

Any part of your wrist that is damaged can cause pain and impair your ability to use your wrist and hand.

• Injuries:

-Unexpected consequences. Wrist injuries are frequently sustained when you fall forward onto your outstretched hand. Sprains, strains, and even fractures can result from this. A scaphoid fracture is a fracture of the bone on the thumb side of the wrist. This type of fracture may not be visible on X-rays right away.

-Stress that is repeated. Any activity that requires repetitive wrist motion, from hitting a tennis ball or bowing a cello to driving cross-country, can inflame the tissues around joints or cause stress fractures, especially if done for hours on end without a break.

• Arthritis

-Osteoarthritis. When the cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones deteriorates over time, this type of arthritis develops. Wrist osteoarthritis is uncommon and usually occurs in people who have previously injured their wrist.

-Arthritis rheumatoid. Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition in which the body's immune system attacks its tissues. It most commonly affects the wrist. When one wrist is affected, the other is usually affected as well.

Other ailments and conditions

• Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve experiences increased pressure as it passes through the carpal tunnel, a passageway in the palm side of your wrist.
• Cysts of the ganglion. These soft tissue cysts most commonly appear on the side of your wrist opposite your palm. Ganglion cysts can cause pain, which can worsen or improve with activity.
• Kienbock's illness This disorder, which usually affects young adults, is characterized by the progressive collapse of one of the small bones in the wrist. Kienbock's disease develops when the blood supply to this bone is cut off.
