Is it normal to have wrist pain after cycling?

Hello, Since I started cycling I have had pain in my wrist. It is stiff. What should I do? Is it normal to have wrist pain after cycling? Is there anyone who experienced the same and can tell me the reason behind the pain in the wrist after cycling?

@bell Hello, yes it is normal and many people experience it. It is sometimes known as handlebar palsy and it occurs when there is compression of the ulnar nerve which runs to your little finger and ring finger. The wrist is a complex structure including multiple joints, ligaments, and nerves. Damage to any of these can lead to pain in the wrist. Overuse, overexertion, impact injuries, and several health conditions can all cause damage in the wrist, and ultimately pain. If it doesn’t get better please contact a doctor. Thank You.
