What Causes Loss Of Muscle Tone And Red Patches On Wrist?
For the past couple of months, I have had an indention in my left wrist by my hand and also by my blood vessel. It is hard to describe but I get what looks like Coumadin red patches up the blood vessel by my wrist and have lost muscle tone in that wrist. Anyone know what this could be???

Hello
I have read your query,
This can be due to carpal tunnel disease.
In carpal tunnel there is edema over tendon at wrist below flexor retinaculum.
Due to increased pressure there is compression of median nerve leading to numbness.
You can ask your physiotherapist for therapy for Carpal tunnel.
Physiotherapy with ultrasound and Tens will help you,
for early healing you can take Tab celin [vit C] and antioxidant with anti-inflammatory [Tab enzomac plus]. Medication like methylcobalamine and pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.
Another possibility of cervical disc bulge leading to wrist disease.
Clinical examination from your doctor will confirm diagnosis.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
