Does Anyone Experience Hand And Wrist Pain?- I Did “a Little” Gardening Yesterday And Now My Wrists Are Killing Me!
I was having a good day yesterday, so I did some gardening and my hands are kind of locked in a claw like position, and my wrists are really sore like they are trying to recover. It feels like an exaggerated response to using my hands in a different way. I wasn’t expecting such a reaction and I’m not sure if this is just a fibromyalgia reaction or arthritis…. Which X-rays don’t show I have much of. However, I’ve come to realize that X-rays really don’t show much other than bone structure. The… read more
My painful wrist was triggered by carrying groceries. My doctor said it's tendonitis. I did find an adjustable wrist brace which did help. Tendonitis does not show up on x-rays. Hold your coffee cup with two hands less weight on your wrist. Carry packages up in your arms. Not by the handles carrying by the handles puts a strain on your wrist. Also apply topicals to your wrist.
I find I have weak and sore wrists and hands. It may be from fibromyalgia or another reason which having fibromyalgia makes worse. You should perhaps look into Carpal tunnel syndrome ( which I apparently have) or other tests, eg MRI with your Dr. if it gets really bad. Good luck x
Yes, that's the question we all ask when dealing with a new pain...is it fibro or something else. My pharmacist recommended I take Osteo Biflex Triple Strength with Glucosomine each day and it has helped with arthritis in my thumbs and the rest of my achey brakey body.
P.S. Welcome to the group!
I do hold my coffee cup with two hands. That’s so funny that you say that! 😊 My hands have been generally weak since having fibromyalgia, weakness in my hands, wrists and arms in general. I also love the suggestion about carrying groceries up in your arms, rather than by the handles. For whatever reason I’ve never thought of that before but I will start doing that. Thank you.
