10 Causes of Wrist Pain
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Cause #6: Tendinitis
We are able to move around thanks to the help of our muscles and tendons. The tendons are attached to muscles at one end and to our limbs and other body parts at the other. When our muscles contract, they pull on body parts using the tendons, causing us to move. These tendons can be found throughout the body and are made from a very strong material.
As strong as they are, though, tendons can become inflamed and irritated if they are overworked. This causes a condition known as tendinitis and it can cause pain and a lack of mobility. It can occur in tendons all over the body including those in the wrist.
