Hi I did review your concern
Your pain can be due to carpel tunnel syndrome or any bony pathology irritating your wrist nerves.
I would advice you to consult a neurologist and he can diagnose the condition and then probably splinting the hand in a dorsiflexed position or local steroid injection will help you relieve of your pain.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
Wish you healthy and happy life ahead.
