Hello,

The symptoms can be related to tendinitis of the wrist. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain. I recommend avoiding heavyweight which can trigger the symptoms. I suggest maintaining a brace and do gentle stretching exercises.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
