Wrist pain is any discomfort in the wrist. It’s often caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. Other common causes include wrist injury, arthritis, and gout.

Preventing wrist pain:
You can help prevent wrist pain due to carpal tunnel syndrome by practicing some of the following strategies:

using an ergonomic keyboard to keep your wrists from bending upwards
resting your hands often while typing or doing similar activities
working with an occupational therapist to stretch and strengthen your wrists
To help prevent future episodes of gout, consider:

drinking more water and less alcohol
avoiding eating liver, anchovies, and smoked or pickled fish
eating only moderate amounts of protein
taking medication as prescribed by your doctor
Exercises to help aching wrists
You can also do simple wrist exercises at home to help aching wrists that may include:

Wrist flexes and extensions
This exercise involves placing your forearm on a table, with a cloth padding under your wrist. Turn your arm so your hand is facedown. Move your hand up until you feel a gentle stretch. Return it to its original position, and repeat.

Wrist supination and pronation

Stand with your arm out to the side, and your elbow bent at 90 degrees. Rotate your forearm so your hand faces up, and then turn it the other way so your hand is facing down.

Wrist deviation.

Place your forearm on a table, with your hand hanging off and padding under your wrist. Have your thumb facing up, and move your hand up and down, as if you’re waving.
