The wrist is made up of many small joints that all work together to give us the strength and flexibility we need without thinking. But the wrist is often on the front line and is vulnerable to common conditions that can cause painful symptoms and persistent discomfort. Many wrist conditions can be treated effectively using rest, pain medication, heat and ice. In some cases such as sudden injury or where there is an underlying condition, specialist attention may be required. If your wrist pain is not improving, talk to a wrist orthopaedic surgeon for an accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment pathway.
