Odd pain in wrists... is it something I should see a doctor about or is it minor!


Question: Odd pain in wrists!.!.!. is it something I should see a doctor about or is it minor!?
Morning all,

For the past few weeks I've been noticing I have a funny pain in the side of my wrists!. Nothing major to the point I can't move my wrist but it makes it uncomfortable right up to the tip of my thumbs!. Both wrists but more so the right one!.

I work in an office so do alot of typing and writing and it hurts when I'm doing those things!.

Is it something I should be concerned about or will it go away in time!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Ive had this!. When i went to the doctor they said it could be RSI (repetative strain injury) but they said if it got worse (which it hasnt luckily) It could be Carple tunnel!. Its worth getting it checked out but for the mean time why not get a wrist support!. I wear one when mine is bad!.

Still get it checked when you can!.

Good luck

Get a good wrist support to use when typing, try using a wrist brace (whenever possible), and ASAP have it checked for carpal tunnel syndrome!. I'm just now getting where I can do typing, and such after CTS surgery!. My wrist and thumb hurt, and numbness got really bad even with doctor issued brace!. I was warned that if I waited too long to get surgery the wrist nerve could be permanently damaged!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This does sound like the beginnings of repetitive strain injury which is often brought on by typing!. Make sure you are sitting straight with the PC directly in front of you!. You should use a wrist rest to type and another one for the mouse!. Your employers should, by law, if you are in UK, provide you with the necessary items!. If this eases the problem then good but if not, make an appointment to see the surgery nurse, she will advise on a special wrist support!. xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

sounds like you might be having some early signs of carpal tunnel syndrome!. its common for typists or people who do a lot of things with their wrist!. you need to go see a doctor to check if it really is carpal tunnel syndrome because it can be corrected!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
