Common Causes of Pain in the hand and wrist.
Most hand and wrist pain causes will fall into one of 3 main categories: inflammation, wear & tear or fracture.
1. Wrist Bursitis

This may result from impact or overuse of the wrist and hand. When inflamed the bursa in the wrist will normally fill with fluid. This condition is known as wrist bursitis. The bursitis will often present as a lump on the wrist similar in size to a ping pong ball. Wrist bursitis may not always cause pain.
