No matter how old you are or what you do for a living, you are always using your hands.
When there is something wrong with them, you may not be able to do your regular activities.
Hand problems include :
- Carpal tunnel syndrome – compression of a nerve as it
goes through the wrist, often making your fingers feel numb - Injuries that result in fractures (broken bones), ruptured ligaments
and dislocations - Osteoarthritis – wear-and-tear arthritis, which can
also cause deformity - Tendinitis – irritation of the tendons
- Disorders and injuries of your fingers and thumb
