Understanding Hand and Forearm Injuries: What You Should Know

Our hands and forearms are involved in nearly everything we do—from lifting groceries to typing at a desk. Injuries can happen from sudden accidents like falls or repeated strain over time. Common issues include sprains, fractures, tendonitis, or nerve conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

While mild aches may improve with rest or simple remedies, certain signs shouldn't be ignored. It could be time to seek medical attention if you experience persistent pain, swelling, tingling, numbness, or difficulty gripping or moving your hand and wrist. Early assessment can prevent further strain and guide appropriate care.
