About Wrist Pain

Wrist pain is a common orthopedic complaint involving discomfort, stiffness, or weakness in the wrist joint and surrounding structures. An orthopedic specialist performs a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose the underlying cause, which can range from acute injuries like sprains and fractures to chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or tendonitis. The diagnostic process typically includes a detailed medical history, physical examination, and may involve imaging studies like X-rays or MRI. Treatment is highly individualized, beginning with conservative management like rest, splinting, physical therapy, and medications. For persistent or severe cases, interventional procedures like corticosteroid injections or surgical options such as arthroscopy or ligament repair may be recommended to restore function and alleviate pain.

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
