What is Hand Pain?

Hand pain is damage to any part of your wrist which causes painful, ranging from dull aches to sharp stabbing pain, and can affect your ability to use your wrist and hand. When we speak of wrist pain, we mean pain in the conjunction of the wrist joint, the area between the hand and the lower arm. There are various causes for wrist pain but the most common cause is a sprained wrist. A sprained wrist is something that is frequently seen with athletes. Athletes are more prone to fall or misuse their hand than other people and when they fall or make a wrong movement they could fall on their hands and sprain their wrist.
