  Hand pain can result from various factors, ranging from minor injuries to serious medical conditions. Below are some common causes:

  1.1. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed within the wrist’s carpal tunnel, leading to numbness, pain, and muscle weakness in the hand. Those who frequently use computers, grip tools for extended periods, or perform repetitive hand movements are more prone to this condition.

  Symptoms:

  • Numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
  • Pain radiating from the wrist to the forearm
  • Weak grip strength

  1.2. Rheumatoid Arthritis

  Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and, if untreated, joint deformity.

  Symptoms:

  • Persistent hand joint pain, especially in the morning
  • Swelling, redness, and stiffness in the joints
  • Burning sensation in the joints

  1.3. Osteoarthritis of the Hands

  Osteoarthritis occurs due to the gradual wear and tear of cartilage, causing bones to rub against each other and resulting in pain.

  Symptoms:

  • Chronic dull pain in the hands
  • Morning stiffness in the joints
  • Slight finger deformities

  1.4. Gout

  Gout is caused by uric acid metabolism disorders, leading to the buildup of urate crystals in joints, often affecting the fingers and wrists.

  Symptoms:

  • Sudden, severe joint pain and swelling
  • Attacks often occur at night
  • A burning sensation in the affected area

  1.5. Wrist Tendonitis

  Wrist tendonitis results from overuse or injury to the wrist tendons.

  Symptoms:

  • Pain along the wrist and hand
  • Stiffness and difficulty moving the hand
  • Increased pain when gripping or twisting the wrist

  1.6. Injuries or Fractures

  Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can lead to sprains, dislocations, or fractures in the hand, causing severe pain.

  Symptoms:

  • Sudden pain after an injury
  • Swelling and bruising in the affected area
  • Difficulty moving the hand normally
