Pt said my nerves in wrist are overactive thinking there is an injury when my sprain has healed. what is this called? he said it was pretty rare.

Hyperesthesia: allodynia, denervation hypersensitivity are all related concepts (increased sensibility in a nerve distribution) The starting point for an evaluation would be a careful neurological examination and possibly and EMG-NCS test.
