What Causes Prolonged Severe Pain In Right Wrist Radiating Into Hand?

For about 6 years on very rare occasions I get a terrible pain in my right wrist that shoots into my hand. It only happens a handful of times a year. It lasts a few minutes and seems to go away. What could cause this.Also, I have pain in my left thigh that effects sleep, hard to sit still, and is noticeable everyday most of the day. If I sleep on a wrinkle the indent it leaves on my body actually hurts for hours after I get up. What could cause these items and is there anything I could do for them that would not cause even more issues. Or could any of these issues lead to even worse issues if not addressed.
