I'm having problems with my wrist. it hurts both pinky side and thumb side could it be carpal tunnel? or overuse injury? what can i do to relievepain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrist pain: Wrist pain can be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome, overuse, or other injuries. Carpal tunnel syndrome is characterized by tingling sensation on palmar aspect of thumb/2nd/3rd/half of the 4th, it does not affect the pinky(5th). You can take otc pain relievers for pain. However, you will need proper evaluation by a physician. Good luck.
