Hand & wrist pain, in brief

Common causes

Carpal tunnel, fractures, sprains, ganglion cysts, tendon problems and arthritis.

Carpal tunnel

Numb, tingling fingers (often at night) from a pinched nerve at the wrist — very treatable.

After a fall

Wrist pain and swelling after a fall may be a fracture — X-ray confirms it.

Treatment

Splinting, physiotherapy or injection for most; a quick procedure where needed.

01 / Understanding it

What’s behind hand and wrist pain

The hand and wrist are intricate, and we rely on them constantly — so pain or weakness there quickly affects everyday life, from writing and cooking to work. The causes are varied but each is treatable once correctly identified.

Common ones include carpal tunnel syndrome (a nerve pinched at the wrist, causing numb, tingling fingers, classically at night); fractures and sprains after a fall; ganglion cysts (harmless fluid-filled lumps); tendon problems like trigger finger and de Quervain’s; and arthritis of the small joints, especially at the thumb base. A fall onto an outstretched hand is a frequent cause of wrist fracture.

Treatment matches the cause and starts with the least invasive option: splinting, activity change, physiotherapy or a targeted injection for many conditions. A fracture is set and, if needed, fixed; carpal tunnel and trigger finger are relieved with a quick, effective procedure when conservative care isn’t enough. With X-ray on site, diagnosis is immediate.

02 / Is treatment right for you?

What kind of hand or wrist problem?

Accurate diagnosis first — then the least invasive treatment that works.

A procedure may be needed if

  • Carpal tunnel not settling with splinting
  • A fracture that needs setting or fixing
  • Trigger finger or a locking tendon
  • A painful or troublesome ganglion cyst
  • Thumb-base or wrist arthritis limiting use

Non-surgical first for

  • Early carpal tunnel — splinting and night support
  • Sprains and soft-tissue strains
  • Many ganglion cysts (often just watched)
  • Problems that respond to injection or physiotherapy
A wrist fracture after a fall is treated as trauma — with X-ray on site, 24×7.
03 / What we treat

07 / Your questions, answered

Hand & wrist questions

Why are my fingers numb and tingling at night?
That is a classic sign of carpal tunnel syndrome — a nerve pinched at the wrist. It often starts at night and is very treatable, usually beginning with a night splint, and with a quick release procedure if it doesn’t settle.
I fell on my hand and my wrist is painful — is it broken?
Possibly. Pain and swelling after a fall onto an outstretched hand commonly signals a wrist fracture. An X-ray — available on site at Medifirst — confirms it, and it is then set or fixed as needed.
Is a ganglion cyst dangerous?
No — ganglion cysts are harmless, fluid-filled lumps. Many are simply watched; one that is painful or troublesome can be removed. They are assessed to confirm what they are and reassure you.
What is trigger finger?
A tendon problem where a finger catches or locks as it bends. It often responds to an injection; a quick release procedure resolves stubborn cases.
Does carpal tunnel always need surgery?
No. Early carpal tunnel often settles with a night splint and activity change. A quick, effective release procedure is reserved for cases that don’t settle or where the nerve is significantly affected.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Surgical treatment is covered by most policies, with cashless facility at Medifirst. Out-patient splinting, physiotherapy and injections are usually paid directly and are inexpensive.
