What Causes Pain And Weakness In The Wrists?

Good Afternoon I am just making an enquirie in regards to my rist, I am experiencing a lot of pain and loss of strenght causing me to drop things and not be able to squeze or grip things. I had tests done approx 5 years ago where I was told I di have mild carpaltunnel but after xrays it was found that the ligaments or tendants that hold the 8 rist bones together were very loose ( I suspect from years of volleyball) I had surgery where the doctor did tighten up the best he could but said that it was possible I may need a wrist reconstruction in the future. What do my current symptoms sound like to you They have been getting progressivly worse for about 2.5 years

Hello,

As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.

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

Take care
