I know that if you are getting punched in the head you could have brain problems. I only punch a bag for fitness reasons, I dont actually fight. I wear handwraps and gloves. Is there a chance that over time i will damage my hands and get arthritis or something?

Sparring with a bag will cause marginal or negligible injury to your hands and joints if you are using the punching for cardio purposes only. This also depends on the force with which you punch, and if you're not a trained boxer, I most likely would guess that you're not denting the bag like a Klitschko brother!
I'd say that if you are using the bag for fitness reasons, and not sparring where you are getting punched in the head, you can sleep safe at night without the worry that this will bring on arthritis in the future!

No, when you're not in an actual fight, but only hit a punching ball, there should be no negative effects on your hands or wrists.
