A member asked:

Inconsistent reoccurring pain in wrists. become very sensitive. i tend to lean on them & play piano. pain in middle on top & limited back/forth motion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Overuse: This may be due to some sort of sprain or overuse syndrome. Try resting your wrists for a week. If this doesn't resolve the problem, a rheumatologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you about whether arthritis or other musculoskeletal disorder is present.
