Arthritis in the hand and wrist is common among those above 40 or individuals with repetitive hand usage. It often leads to:
- Joint stiffness and swelling
- Ongoing pain and discomfort
- Reduced hand and finger mobility
Without proper treatment, arthritis can make even simple tasks—like turning a key or opening a jar—difficult to manage.
When to Consider Treatment
Arthritis symptoms should not be ignored, especially if you experience:
- Persistent hand or wrist pain
- Difficulty with gripping or movement
- Morning stiffness that lasts beyond a few minutes
- Swelling around finger joints
