Your hands are critical for going about your normal daily activities of living. To accomplish daily tasks, it is essential that all elements of the hand, wrist, and elbow work together to optimize overall function.

When to see a doctor about hand and wrist pain
Pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. But it doesn’t always tell you if you need medical treatment. So when pain develops in your hand, wrist or elbow, how do you know whether to treat it at home or see a doctor?
Orthopedic surgeons at Nairobi Spine Orthopaedic Center, who specializes in upper extremity problems, says if something is seriously wrong, you will definitely know.
Hand and wrist pain requires medical care. Minor sprains and strains usually respond to ice, rest and over-the-counter pain medications. However, If you have severe pain, deformity, numbness, or are unable to move your wrist, you should call your doctor for an immediate appointment.
First aid treatment for a broken hand
When one of the hand bones is broken or fractured, it can prevent you from using the hand, wrist and fingers. This is because fractures of the hand and of the wrist are very common .Home care for hand injuries are therefore basic tools that one should have in case of an accident .
If your hands, fingers or wrist are cold or blue, contact us at (254) 791 399 103/4 or (254) 780 888 823 immediately.
Do NOT straighten your hand if it is deformed — keep it in that position.
Have the person bend the arm at the elbow.
Stabilize the hand in the position of function with the fingers curled loosely around a soft object like roller gauze. Use padding to keep it immobile. A splint may be tied on the lower arm with fabric or elastic bandages. Cardboard, rolled-up newspaper, or other stiff material can be used as a splint.
Put ice on the injury. Never put the ice directly on the skin —make an ice pack. After holding ice on the hand for about 20 minutes, take it off for 20 minutes.
Anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, aspirin, or naproxen will help with pain. To decrease the risk of Reye’s Syndrome, do not give aspirin to children under 18
Elevate the hand above the level of the heart to reduce swelling.
