Explanation

Pain in the wrist joint, especially when bending it backwards, can be related to how you use your wrist in daily activities or work.

Possible Reasons for Wrist Pain:

  1. Postural Load: The way you hold or move your wrist might be putting extra stress on it. This is similar to how different postures can affect other parts of your body.
  2. Work Activities: If your job or activities require repetitive wrist movements, it might lead to musculoskeletal complaints, including wrist pain.

Ergonomics:

  • Using tools or equipment that are not designed well for your body can also contribute to wrist pain, as shown in multiple studies.

If your wrist pain persists, it might be helpful to look at how you use your wrist during the day and try to adjust your activities or seek ergonomic solutions.
