All day my wrist has been experiencing pain, it hurts when i pick something put ice or heat on it?

Sounds inflammatory: Ice would be more effective in this scenario. Splinting may also be of help by putting wrist at rest. If you experienced any type of trauma to the wrist such as a fall recommend an xray.
