Wrist pain: There are a number of things that cause wrist pain. One that may cause pulsatile or shooting pain is carpal tunnel syndrome. It is commonly worse when irritating the nerve in the forearm when lifting objects or in certain positions. Try holding the position in the image for 30 seconds. If it becomes painful, you likely have carpal tunnel syndrome and should see a doctor.
