What Causes Pain And Tingling Sensation On The Wrist?

I am a volleyball setter which means i use my wrist and hands alot. About a month ago my wrist felt as if it wanted to crack and felt stuck but i kept playing. Now it cramped up and has lumps and weakness. Now i experience a tingly sensation when I over use it. I also am starting to feel the sensation and minor pain through out my forearm and neck.

Hello,

From history, it appears that you might have a nerve impingement in the cervical region and that is the reason the pain is travelling from the neck to the hand and so does the tingling sensation.

As nerve root having compression anywhere in its course from the spinal cord may lead to either motor and sensory troubles.

I will advice you to undergo a orthopedist clinical examination and an MRI of the cervical spine if the pain is unbearable. If it's bearable I will advice you to take a hot water fermentation and neck collar.

But MRI is for sure you need to take so can get a clear picture of the soft tissue injuries and the level of compression.

In my clinical practice of 12 years, most patients with these symptoms are diagnosed with nerve entrapment.

Therapeutic part includes - neck collar, hot water fermentation, rest , exercise. They respond well so will you; I have faith.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
