The wrist is a joint connecting the hands and forearm. The bones that participate to make wrist joint are eight carpal bones (present in the wrist), the distal end of ulna and radius (bones of the forearm) and proximal ends of five metacarpal bones (bones located in the hand and extending between the wrist and fingers). The carpal bones are scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate. These bones of the wrist are connected with each other, with the bones of the hand and forearm by ligament bands. Muscles get attached to bones via tendons. The wrist also has a carpal tunnel – a passage on the palmar side of the wrist through which several tendons and median nerves pass. Damage to any of the structures forming the wrist joint can lead to wrist pain. Homeopathic medicines for wrist pain are natural remedies that treat the problem from the root.
Along with pain, swelling and stiffness in the wrist may also be present. Numbness, tingling in the hands and fingers are other accompanying symptoms. Among the various causes of wrist pain, the major ones are rheumatoid arthritis, sprains, tendinitis, fractured bones, carpal tunnel syndrome, gout, ganglion cyst and repetitive stress.

Here I warn everyone homeopathy is medicine for fools. Do don’t get emotional for homeopathic medicines. I list atleast 35000 rs in homeopathy but got no results. All homeopathic doctors ate big fools in paradise you must have noticed that generally RMO s in many hospitals ate homeopathic doctors these stupid doctors practice allopathy as no one comes to them for homeopathic treatment. These homeopathy doctors are very dangerous for life or a big threat to life because they practice both homeopathy and allopathy. In mumbai one can find 75 % homeopathy BHMS doctors practising allopathy and earning well. I believe india government like russia must ban homeopathy. A BHMS homeopathy doctor can get a degree in mere 10,000 rs but an MBBS doctor have to spent lakhs of rupees to get a medical degree. So these good for nothing BHMS doctors are earning at the cost of mbbs doctors.I request all to please don’t fell prey to these wolves homeopathic doctors.

Hello Dr. Sharma –
I am 22 year old young man. Injured my left wrist while playing basketball in November 2017. It’s been 18 months now and it still hurts. Whenever I type on computer or twist my hand, it is hurting. Also hurts to bend wrist forwards or backwards. Hurts to twist doorknobs. Doesn’t hurt when wrist is not being used or is resting. Only hurts when in use. It can’t support much weight (carrying a plate of food or backpack hurts) and feel pain when grabbing or twist in particular direction.
Took left wrist MRI & MR Arthrogram in March 2018. Please see the MRI findings below. There’s a very small TFCC tear. Doctor said that there is 1 very small ligament tear and 1 cartliage tear. He said that the tear is very small, so it should fix with time, and no surgery is needed. Patient should try not to strain it and wear the brace.
But it still hurts. I have tried bomeopathy & steroid injection. Doctor says surgery is the only option.
Do you think this can be cured by homeopathy or surgery has to be done. Can you please help and let me know what medicine to take to fix the pain. . Please let me know.
Thanks so much for the prompt response.
MRI results-
FINDINGS:
A poorly defined pinhole tear is present through the radial margin of the central TFCC disc seen best on coronal image #9 and 10 series 5 and 6. The ulnar aspect of the ligament demonstrates mild irregularity along the distal volar margin coronal image #8 and 9 consistent with a partial tear. The extensor carpi ulnaris tendon is intact without altered signal, position or surrounding fluid. No significant ulnar positive or minus variance. The distal radioulnar joint is normal in position with contrast extending into the joint through the TFC tear discussed above.
The radiocarpal, midcarpal and carpometacarpal joints are normal in position without fracture or marrow edema. The scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligaments are intact without altered signal. The , flexor tendons and median nerve are normal in appearance. Extensor tendons remain intact without altered thickness, signal or tenosynovitis.
IMPRESSION:
1. Small pinhole central TFC tear about 1 mm from the radial insertion (Palmer Class IA injury).
2. Mild partial tear volar ulnar aspect of the ligament.
3. No evidence of a scapholunate or lunotriquetral ligament tear, tendinopathy or fracture.
I had no injury but had chemo 5 years ago, been cancer free since, I play lots of tennis, was diagnosed scapholunate tear in wrist, wrist popping and clicking, painful to play. He gave me a cortisone shot around November last year, great for about 3 months, pain came back popping, clicking, thumb and index finger more sore,had one more cortisone shot, still played but some pain, I almost always wear a wrist brace, when I dont play at rest it isnt bad. I had x ray, no fracture multiple x rays, last x ray showed AVN, with no fracture. I had a MRI it showed bone edema scaphoid, lunate and parts of other bones, severe bone contusions, and possible AVN early stages in proximal pole. Wrist sugeon wanted to take out scaphoid and do 4 corner fusion. texted people online who had it and most people regret it. I had no accident and hope I can reverse AVN, will try Silicea 30c for AVN and probably Rhus Tox 30c for Scapholunate Tear. Can Homeopathy reverse AVN in early stage with no fracture, and can it heal a mild Scapholunate tear as the gap is not wide between scaphoid and lunate bone of wrist. Do I need 200c of those 2 Preparations I mentioned or can 30c be sufficent. If you have other suggestions love to hear it, thanks for reading long message!

Hello, I am inquiring about remedies for a friend who fell and shattered her wrist this past Nov. She had to have a metal plate inserted. She took several doses of arnica and hypericum alternately for a few days, after the surgery, but still had a lot of swelling. 6 months later she still has pain and the doctor said she has extensive nerve damage . She is planning to have the surgery re done by a more competent surgeon. Perhaps there is a remedy that could help, not sure if ruts, staphasagria, or symphytum would be best since they all seem to be indicated for surgery on broken bones.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hello Doctor,
I am having pain in my right hand wrist. It seems carpal tunnel. I am taking Ruta Graveolons 200 CH from last two weeks. It has reduced my pain but still it comes up after long working hours on laptop. Please advise good homeopathic medicine or shall I continue with Ruta?? I heard Causticum & Rhus Tox are also good medicines.
Thanks a lot,
Raj(39yr/male)
Working long hours on a laptop may have caused the pain to begin wth and could keep it from healing. I am a massage therapist and trained in the Alexander technique which looks at the relationship between physical pain and body mechanics. Carpel tunnel is often caused by repetitive movements of the wrist typical in certain professions ( food prep chopping veggies, coputer workers, secretaries).
