What causes nerve pain around the wrist region?
Patient: I have been having what seems like nerve pain (it radiates) in my left wrist at the base of my thumb. It comes and goes but has lasted for about 5 weeks. I am 68 and otherwise very healthy. I practice yoga regularly but am not aware of having caused any injury to this area. Doctor: dear sir /madami would like to know are your thumb movements painful,i would also like to examine for any local bone tenderness, movements of the thumb and also perform certain manuevers to rule out tendon inflammation,then come to the diagnosis, its very difficult to tell anything with the information given,
