Causes of Hand Pain

There are many potential causes of hand pain. Common causes include:

Osteoarthritis: This is a degenerative disease that causes the cartilage in the joints to break down, which can cause pain and stiffness in the hand.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition in which the nerve that runs from the hand to the forearm becomes compressed, which can lead to pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand.

Tendonitis: When a tendon in the hand becomes inflamed due to overuse or injury, this can cause pain, swelling, and difficulty moving the hand.

Trigger finger: A condition where a finger or thumb becomes locked in a bent position and can lead to pain and difficulty straightening the finger.

Hand pain is a common problem that can significantly impact your quality of life. The pain can range from mild discomfort to intense pain and can have many different causes. Whether you have trouble gripping or lifting objects, or feel pain when using your hand, it’s important to understand what could be causing it and how to get help.
