Hi,
Hormonal imbalances including thyroid dysfunction can lead to a condition called carpel tunnel syndrome (CTS) and can cause wrist pain. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedics and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
