Numbness and pain in wrists and hands
I've been getting really painful shooting and aching pains in both wrists and hands, along with strong pins and needles and numbness. It is worse at nighttime and when I have been doing lots of work with my hands and wrists e.g. writing, pulling ropes (I work as an outdoor activity leader). It doesn't get better with painkillers

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation. • Gentle Stretching of Hand Muscles. • Ball exercises. • Wrist Exerciser.
