Wrist Tendonitis From Repeated Motion

If your wrist aches after the same task every day, start by naming the task. Readers in Wayne can use the steps below to do that.

What usually causes tendonitis

The NHS is direct about causes. Tendonitis is usually caused by sudden, sharp movements or repetitive exercise, such as running, jumping or throwing.

Naming the motion that loads your wrist

1. Name the motion you repeat, and write down how often you repeat it.
2. Compare it with those causes. Note whether it is sudden and sharp, or repeated.
3. Read a tendonitis overview so the terms are familiar before a visit.
4. Take your notes to a clinician and ask whether the wrist is the actual source of the pain.

When your task is not a sport

Running, jumping, and throwing are only examples. If your task involves desk work, tools, or screens, say so, and ask your clinician whether your wrist is affected and how to treat it.

For a view from pain specialists, the pain medicine academy's site explains how that field describes itself.
