Wrist Injury Causes
The most common cause of wrist injuries is a fall on an outstretched hand.
- You can also have wrist pain from repetitive use that results in an inflammation of the tendons (tendonitis). This is termed a repetitive motion injury and is really not a true sprain.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome is another common wrist injury that may occur from repetitive motion.
