Hand Pain

What Causes Hand Pain?

Hand pain can be caused by several factors, including:

• Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints of the hands.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition where pressure on the median nerve in the wrist causes pain, numbness, or tingling in the hand.
• Injuries: Fractures, sprains, or strains can lead to acute pain and swelling in the hand.
• Tendonitis: Inflammation of the tendons in the hand or wrist, often caused by repetitive motions or overuse.
• Nerve Compression: Conditions such as cubital tunnel syndrome or radiculopathy can cause nerve pressure, leading to hand pain or weakness.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs in the joints can result in pain and swelling in the hand.
