Basketball is a highly demanding sport, which can cause physical damage to athletes. Although basketball players are often concerned about maximizing energy and preventing leg injuries, repeated dribbling and shooting can cause wrist pain. Falls can also cause wrist injuries and pain. If you suffer from chronic wrist pain or recent falls while playing games, consult your doctor.

Tendinitis occurs when the sheath around the tendon becomes inflamed. This can lead to pain and swelling in the affected area and may be caused by repeated exercise and repeated injuries. Fixed the affected area and apply ice bags every 20 minutes. If your condition worsens or affects your ability to play basketball, your doctor may recommend cortisone injections or surgery. sprain and fracture
sprain occurs when ligament (tissue connecting bone and bone) is stretched or torn. A fracture is a fracture. The symptoms are similar, including swelling, numbness and local pain. Fractures usually require medical treatment and fixation for several weeks, while sprains can usually be treated at home. If you recently fell down while playing basketball and have wrist pain, consult a doctor to diagnose your injury. Fractures often do not heal properly without treatment. Whether you have a fracture or a sprain, you shouldn't play basketball until the injury is healed. If you notice a knot on your arm, hand or wrist, your wrist pain may be caused by muscle spasm. Clumsy postures, more stress on one side than on the other, and a return to the basketball court after a long period of inactivity can cause muscle spasms. Massage knots, focus on relaxing muscles, eliminate tension. Muscle knots usually disappear spontaneously after a few days of massage. Wrist tunnel syndrome can cause wrist pain in older basketball players. This is the result of repeated exercise, which may cause your hands to tremble. Ganglion cysts are non-cancerous masses that can develop at the wrist. If you find lumps or pain, consult your doctor. Injuries to other parts of the body, such as the shoulder, neck and buttocks, can cause pain radiated to the wrist.
