Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The hand surgeon and the orthopedist are the professionals who most frequently study hand pain, since they have in-depth knowledge of the bones, tendons, nerves, and joints of this region; the general practitioner can also guide a first evaluation. Hand pain is a discomfort located in the palm, the fingers, or the wrist that can appear suddenly or persist over time.
Frequent symptoms: in addition to the pain, there may be swelling, stiffness, tingling, loss of strength, or difficulty gripping objects.
Common causes: overuse, blows, sprains, nerve entrapments, or inflammatory processes of the joints are among the possible origins.
When is it worth checking? When the pain persists, limits daily activities, or is accompanied by numbness, going in for a consultation helps identify the cause and take care of the function of the hand.
