What Causes Severe Pain And Swelling In Wrist That Radiates To Fingers?

I suddenly experienced pain in my inner wrist and hand this morning. It is hard for me to use my fingers without pain. My inner wrist has become red and somewhat swollen. My hand is weak and once I experienced numbness in the tips of my middle fingers. What could be wrong and where do I go for answers?

Hi,

With the kind of symptoms you have mentioned it looks like more of a physical disabling pain. Why dont you try for doing some hot water fermentation to the neck region and post that some exercises for neck and upper limb. It could be due to a compression of the nerve in the cervical region due to muscle spam. I hope once you do this exercises you will be fine. If your symptoms do not subside you can meet up a physical therapist who can help you get ease of pain and tingling with numbness by using Ultrasound therapy and TENS. Little exercise post that will be surely of help to you.
