Pain in the outer portion of my right wrist. i have a history of fractures in both wrists. i play multiple sports making me active should i worry?

Usually not : Anything to worry about. Fractured wrist typically heal to the strength they were prior to fracture. If you had a simple fracture that was essentially just a crack and nondisplaced even less reason to worry. Could be a tendonitis most likely. Treat with ice, nsaids.
