Tendinitis: Sounds like a tendinitis. Try NSAID for a couple of weeks and ice the area for 15-20 minutes 2x a day. Rest the affected wrist whenever possible. If the problem gets worse, see your doctor.

Wrist pain: Did you have an Injury or fall. Among possibility are carpal tunnel syndrome,wrist sprain, distal radial fracture, dislocated one of the small bones in the hand. If it is not getting better see your doctor. A short duration of splint and non-steroidal pain medication will help while trying to assess the cause.
