Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

This kind of wrist pain may be due to tendinitis but they need further evaluation by clinical examination and some relevant tests.

So,you may need to undergo routine blood count including total count,X-ray and MRI scan may also required to diagnose the cause for this pain.

You can take over the counter pain killers with continue using braces for immobilization.

Consult orthopedician for further advise.

Regards,
