What Is The Cause Of Stiff And Painful Wrists?
I have really stiff and painful wrists, I have had this for 4 months now, I have a weak grip in both my hands, but no swelling. I am going through the change and have gained weight even though following a healthy eating plan, I get night sweats but none during the day. Not sure if the pain in my wrists are linked to the change or something different.

Hi,
Since you are developing weakness along with stiff and painful wrists, you need to get evaluated for it. Get x ray done and also doppler may be required to check for blood supply to the wrists/hands. Also check for ESR, ASLO titer and CRP to rule out some of the inflammatory causes for wrist pain and stiffness.
Hope this helps you,
Regards
