What Causes Extreme Pain In Wrists?
I have pain in both of my wrists, the right being the worst. I have been to my family doctor. He thought that it might be arthritis and gave me a prescription. After about 6 months I informed him that the RX was not working. He then referred me to an Orthopedic Doctor. He said that it wasn t carpal tunnel and is referring me to occupational therapy. Any idea what the problem with my wrists might be? At times I find it difficult to tear paper or pick something up.

Hello,
Wrist pain is often caused by sprains or fractures from sudden injuries. But wrist pain can also result from long-term problems, such as repetitive stress, arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.
