概述

腕尺侧疼痛是指手腕与拇指相对的一侧发生疼痛。这种疼痛会因病因而异。疼痛可能会在您握住某物或扭动手腕时加重。由于很多不同类型的损伤都会导致这种疼痛,所以腕尺侧疼痛很难诊断。

症状

Symptoms of ulnar wrist pain may include:

  • Pain that worsens when gripping something or twisting the wrist.
  • Loss of strength when trying to grip firmly.
  • Trouble moving the wrist or rotating the forearm.
  • A popping or clicking sound when moving the wrist.

病因

腕尺侧疼痛常由跌倒时手部支撑地面引起。这样会使腕部骨折。网球、高尔夫和橄榄球等体育运动有时可使手腕过度弯曲,这样会损伤肌腱和韧带。木工和水暖工可能会出现腕尺侧疼痛,因为他们必须经常在狭小空间使用工具,手腕需要处于难受的位置。

风险因素

Sports participation, repetitive work, and certain diseases and conditions can put you at risk for ulnar wrist pain.

  • Sports participation. Wrist injuries are common in many sports, both those that involve impact and those that put repetitive stress on the wrist. These can include football, golf, tennis and pickleball.
  • Repetitive work. People who regularly use a computer mouse or keyboard are at risk. Carpenters and plumbers may develop ulnar wrist pain because they often use tools in small spaces, causing awkward positioning of the wrist.
  • Other diseases and conditions. People with generally loose ligaments, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or gout also are at risk.
