Frequently asked questions
When should I seek medical help for a hand injury?

The median nerve in the forearm and hand may be squeezed when the surrounding tissues of the wrist are swollen, irritated, or inflamed. Symptoms usually occur because of repetitive movements such as typing on a keyboard. Conservative treatment may include medication, hand and wrist exercises, or rest. Aggressive treatment may include injections or surgical intervention by a hand surgeon.My hands swell. Should I be worried?
Swelling in the hands should be evaluated by a doctor. There are many reasons you may have swelling in your hands, including infection, joint disease, cysts or tumors, and inflammation of the tissues.

If the swelling causes problems with hand movements or does not go away on its own, then you should consult a doctor for evaluation.What are the common causes of hand pain?

Pain in the hand that does not go away with home management, such as over-the-counter pain medicine or RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation), should be evaluated by a specialist hand doctor.How will I know if I’ve broken a bone?
It may be difficult to tell if you’ve broken a bone in your hands. Your hand injury could be a small partial fracture with milder symptoms.

X-rays are needed to diagnose fractures, so you should check with your hand doctor if you suspect this type of injury.What should I do if I think I sprained my wrist? What is a wrist sprain?

You can also take over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen to reduce swelling and pain. If symptoms worsen or persist after 5-7 days, seek medical attention.Should I wear a wrist brace?
