Wrist pain: The likely cause varies with age: in younger persons, most likely the result of sprain or contusion; in middle-aged or older may be arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or certain infiltrative disorders including hypothyroidism. In this age group i would be most suspicious of degenerative arthritis, which occurs insidiously over years and may abruptly become painful. Possibly gout. Try ibuprofen.
