Brief Answer:
Wear wrist brace

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query at HealthcareMagic.

Which side of wrist are you getting the pain?
Are you into sports?
How bad is the pain?

I think the pain maybe happening due to low lubrication in the joint. Sometimes it happens due to sports injury or even fracture. So an x-ray maybe taken under guidance of orthopedic surgeon.

Till then you may apply crepe bandage or wrist brace to give appropriate support to wrist. Avoid unnecessary movements at that wrist.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

pain location is at left side of wrist joint (left hand). Currently I am not into any sports.
pain is not severe, little pain is there. as I told earlier the pain started when I applied force on my left hand while doing some work, that is 20 days back.

Brief Answer:
Seems like ligament injury

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

From your description it seems like injury of ligament. But a confirm diagnosis can be achieved by direct examination by an orthopedic surgeon only.

Wearing a wrist brace will be helpful. Avoid repeated movements at the joint.
