    Causes

    The exact cause is unknown but the repetitive use of the wrist worsens the condition. Any activity such as griping, grasping, clenching involves the tendons (rope like structures which attach bones to the wrist), repetitive actions will cause damage to the sheath covering the tendons at the base of the thumb and the wrist.

    The other causes include:

    • Direct injury to wrist or tendons on the wrist side
    • Inflammatory arthritis like rheumatoid arthritis

    Risk factors include

    • Age - more common among age group of 30 -50
    • Gender - more common among women
    • Occupational risks

    Symptoms

    There are many possible causes of wrist and hand pain, including: Repetitive strain injury (RSI): This is a condition that occurs when the same movements are repeated over and over again, causing strain on the muscles, tendons, and nerves in the wrist and hand. RSI can be caused by activities such as typing, playing video games, or using power tools. Carpal tunnel syndrome: This is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, is compressed. Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the fingers. De Quervain's tenosynovitis: This is a condition that occurs when the tendons that move the thumb are inflamed. De Quervain's tenosynovitis can cause pain on the outside of the wrist, near the thumb.

    Can radial tunnel syndrome cause wrist drop?
    Over time, radial tunnel syndrome can weaken your forearm muscles and your overall wrist strength, making it increasingly difficult to grip or lift certain things. The pain may also get worse while you’re sleeping. Sometimes radial tunnel syndrome can cause wrist drop, meaning you lose the ability to lift your hand past a certain point.
