Hello,
It can be a nerve compression underneath your wrist as in carpel tunnel syndrome. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If pain persist, get an MRI scan done to look for any nerve impingement. In severe cases surgical correction may be required. Consult an orthopedic and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query.
