Your wrists are involved in almost everything you do, from typing and driving to lifting objects and working with your hands. When your wrist hurts, even simple movements can become difficult.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\tCommon Wrist Injuries and Conditions\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t

1.Wrist Sprains<\/h3>\n

Wrist sprains occur when the ligaments supporting the wrist are stretched or torn. They commonly happen after a fall onto an outstretched hand, a sudden twisting movement, or an accident at work. Symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, and pain when bending or rotating the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A wrist fracture occurs when one or more bones in the wrist are broken. Fractures can result from falls, direct impacts, car accidents, or workplace injuries. Common symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the wrist.
