Pain in the Middle Depression on the Back of the Wrist

Pain in the middle depression on the back of the wrist may be caused by trauma, tenosynovitis, osteoarthritis, etc., and requires treatment based on different causes.

  1. Trauma: If the back of the wrist is accidentally injured, it may lead to wrist joint damage, resulting in edema, pain, local tenderness, etc. It can be relieved through hot and cold compresses.
  2. Tenosynovitis: Wrist joint strain can lead to frequent wear and tear of the tendon sheath, reducing synovial fluid and causing aseptic inflammation. Under the stimulation of inflammation, local pain and limited movement may occur. Under the guidance of a doctor, medications such as Ibuprofen Sustained-Release Capsules and Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets can be taken for relief.
  3. Osteoarthritis: Long-term strain can cause osteoarthritis of the hand, and the inflammatory response can cause wrist joint pain. When the middle part of the back of the wrist joint undergoes significant degeneration, the pain is more pronounced. Massage and acupuncture can be used for treatment.

Besides the relatively common causes mentioned above, there are other reasons such as carpal tunnel syndrome, periostitis, and cervical spondylosis. If you have any symptoms of discomfort, you should seek medical attention promptly for timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
