10 Causes of Wrist Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #3: Repetitive Stress
Our joints are in use pretty much all day long. Quite often, they allow for even the slightest of adjustments that we don’t even notice. But it still means that our joints are in action. Occasionally, we might put our joints under more stress than usual and this could potentially lead to problems.
People that play certain sports or have certain jobs might be placing their wrists and other joints under repetitive stress. This means performing the same action repeatedly for extended periods of time, which can begin to take its toll on our joints. Such repetitive stress can lead to an inflammation in the joints which can be painful and restrict movement.
