Hi,
The problem you are facing may be related to your work. As you do much of grinder work and buffer.Due to this constant vibrations at the wrist, the nerves which pass at the wrist under flexor retinaculum (sheath at the palm side of wrist below which nerves pass) may be injured due to which you will have the pain which can be radiating and constant pain.
