Possibilities: Hmm. Sticking to common problems, things to consider are a wrist sprain or Dequervain tenosynovitis which are both inflammation of ligaments/tendons. Other things in the differential would be: Carpal tunnel syndrome if there are symptoms of numbness, Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis if symptoms are more noticeable in the mornings. Osteoarthritis should not be considered in a young patient.

Many things are part: Of the wrist, thus many things can hurt too. Bone, tendon, joint, nerve, blood vessel, skin all can be a source of wrist pain. Tendonitis is a common cause, as is arthritis in the tumb base and carpal tunnel compression. But the take haome answer is anything that gets a nerve supply ( which is everything) can be a source of pain. Hand surgeons can offer diagnosis & rx for this very complex region.
