Wrist fractures are among the most common orthopaedic injuries in the Unites States.Typical symptoms include severe pain, usually intensifying with use, swelling, tenderness, bruising, deformity and numbness or stiffness in the hand. Dr. Kevin Lutsky of the Rothman Institute explains.

If you have been experiencing any numbness or tingling in your wrist, or even maybe even losing range of motion in your wrist or waking up in the middle of the night to shake out your wrists and hardly getting any sleep at all then start looking into treatment options. Then, discuss with your doctor what type of treatment would be the best for you.
