Symptoms of a Hand Injury

Pain in your hand, wrist, or fingers is typically the first sign of a hand condition or injury. You may experience brief hand pain that resolves with self-treatment, or you may have pain that doesn’t seem to go away.

Other signs and symptoms of a damaged hand include: 

  • Weak grip and difficulty grasping
  • Stiffness
  • Numbness
  • Tingling 

It’s common for symptoms of hand pain to worsen with movement. Or, you may notice that moving and loosening up the hand relieves pain and stiffness. Orthopedists at Dignity Health North State are experienced in treating both acute and chronic forms of hand and wrist pain.
