I have exactly the same thing with my wrist, this is becuase i had a fracture in a bone in my wrist called the scaphoid, which did not heal and turned into what is know as a non union. Where is the pain in your wrist, mine is predominatly just below the thumb on the inside of the wrist. Did you injure the hand which you may have thought was a sprain recently (fall on outstretched hand). I only say this because i was told that my wrist was sprained because my x ray was clear, only for the non union to be discovered some time later when it was too late to heal. If you do not remember an injury to the wrist then it is unlikly to be a scaphoid fracture. Does your wrist hurt when you push the soft part at the base of your thumb. I am only to aware of what can happen if a scaphoid fraacture is not detected or treated correctly, as i am awaiting an op to have pins put in! (also scaphoid fractures may not show up on initail xrays after injury)
