Understanding Wrist Arthritis
Wrist arthritis occurs when the cartilage that cushions the wrist joints deteriorates over time. This can lead to bone-on-bone contact, causing pain, swelling, and decreased mobility.
Common Causes of Wrist Arthritis Include:
- Osteoarthritis (age-related wear and tear)
- Rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammation)
- Post-traumatic arthritis from previous wrist injuries
- Gout or other inflammatory conditions
Symptoms of Wrist Arthritis:
- Persistent wrist pain
