A member asked:

Why does my hand burn on top no other symptoms it's just really hurts and burns but it looks normal its hurts when i try to write or use it ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly inflamed: if your hand or wrist hurt on squeezing then there is likelihood of inflammation in the wrist joints. See a rheumatologist. You can also try Motrin or Aleve (naproxen) as well as apply heat to the painful area.
