Tendonitis: Can present with very sharp pain, a common type of tendinitis in the wrist is deqervains affecting the thumb tendons but any tendon that crosses the wrist can be affected. Ice, nsaids and soft splinting may help, if symptoms worsen, are accompanied by redness swelling seek attention as early infection may present this way too.
