title: Wrist pain. How to identify the cause and treat it.
abstract: Wrist pain may originate from problems of the arteries, nerves, muscles, tendons, or ligaments and from injuries to the bones or joints that compose the wrist. Diagnosis of the exact cause of pain is made by carefully assessing the function of each structure of the wrist. Treatment for wrist pain is primarily surgical but may also include the use of drugs, application of splints, and other therapies.
