Wrist pain: RICE - rest, ice, compress, elevate. Sounds like a sprained wrist. If not improve, see a doctor to help diagnose.

Conditioning: If you've had trauma to the area, get a careful exam. I suggest a physiatrist (PM&R specialist). If no trauma and you're healthy, you may be overusing the structures there. Do you do repetitive wrist work like computer use? If so, see an ergonomic specialist OT. Also, do some stretching and strengthening to the hand/wrist/arm. A wrist splint during heavy work can also help.
