For a while now my wrists have been hurting. they start to hurt whether it's writing, holding my phone, doing dishes, or straightening my hair. why?

Carpal Tunnel: Likely you have tendonitis related to repetitive gripping and grasping with the hands. As the tendons in the wrist swell, pain increases. Applying a cold pack to the wrists periodically throughout the day, while trying to reduce activities, may help. Also a velcro wrist brace sometimes helps, as well as ibuprofen.
