Ep 11: Wrist Pain

Wrist pain is a common presentation in both general practice and emergency settings, but it’s often under-assessed or misattributed. In this episode, we break down a structured approach to wrist pain—from acute traumatic injuries to chronic overuse syndromes and systemic causes. We cover key history questions, focused examination techniques, red flags you can’t afford to miss, and practical tips for choosing when to order imaging or refer. Whether it’s a young athlete with a scaphoid fracture, an office worker with carpal tunnel, or an older patient with inflammatory arthritis, this episode will help you sharpen your diagnostic reasoning and management strategies.
