Hello,
The wrist pain is very common while playing guitar. It is due to static tension and excessive bending of the wrist. I suggest to use cold compresses in case of pain. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I recommend to let the wrist rest and maintain a splint if it hurts while playing guitar.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
