What causes wrist pain while sneezing and taking deep breath?
Patient: I have rheumatoid arthritis, have had an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (4-23-12) and bilateral total knee replacements (07-03-12). I am a 52 year old female. When I take an unexpected deep breath like a yawn, sneeze, or a deep sigh, I get pain shooting through both of my wrists and hands. Doctor: Hi,  Pain in wrist &/or hands upon sneezing may be because of cervical spondylosis. You may take vitamins and minerals and antioxidants along with physiotherapy.   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Nirmal Chander Gupta,  Orthopaedic Surgeon
