Wrist Pain

Certain symptoms suggest a serious cause of wrist pain that requires prompt attention. It's important to ask questions about these symptoms first.

Do you have severe wrist pain and any of the following symptoms:

• fever

• redness

• marked swelling

• inability to use the joint

• recent significant trauma (a fall, car accident, etc.)?

  Yes, I have one or more of these symptoms.

  No, I do not have these symptoms.
