Wrist, hand and finger problems

A woman with wrist pain

Problems with the wrist, hand, and fingers are common.

They can be caused by simple things, like carrying out repetitive tasks, an injury during sport or a fall.

As you get older, normal wear and tear can cause your problem to flare-up now and again, often for no reason.

 

 


Facts and figures

  • Pain caused by overuse and repetitive movements is called Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI).
  • One-in-fifty people in employment have reported an RSI condition.
