Your wrist is a joint that connects your hand and forearm. Your wrist joint contains many small bones that help you bend, straighten and rotate your hand and wrist. Many treatable problems can cause pain, numbness or tingling in the wrists and hands.
After any problem in the wrists, hands or fingers, it's important to get movement and strength back. This supports tissue healing and will help you get moving again.
You may not be able to return to your usual exercise levels immediately and improvements may be slow to start with. However, a gradual return to normal activities is the best way to get good short and long term results after a wrist, hand or finger problem.
When doing exercise you should listen to your pain levels, especially in the early stages. You may find that these exercises increase your symptoms slightly in the beginning. However, they should get easier over time and, with regular practice, can help to improve movement in the wrists, hands or fingers.

Few things are more frustrating than an injury to the wrist, which can make even simple, everyday tasks painful or complicated. Whether it's a new injury or recurring complications from an older injury, problems with the wrist can significantly impede your quality of life. The good news is that, with the proper attention from a skilled wrist specialist, you can resume your healthy, active lifestyle free from discomfort or complication.
Wrist injuries can originate from many different causes, but the most common by far is carpal tunnel syndrome, essentially a repetitive stress injury. Another common cause of wrist pain is arthritis. And, something as simple as a fall can lead to a fracture or other wrist problems. If you experience any of these problems, it's best to see an orthopedic specialist sooner rather than later. Early intervention from a skilled wrist surgeon can mitigate any long-term effects to your wrist.
