Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a delivery driver and my work is to drive and lift boxes all the day. I have started having wrist discomfort and pain. Also now it is affecting my hand motion. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern, these symptoms are due to compression of the median nerve at wrist level. It causes pain, tingling in the hands, and limited wrist movement. If this condition does not improve despite conservative measures, I suggest you visit an orthopedic doctor for a steroid injection or carpal tunnel release surgery. I hope this helps you.
