Why does my wrist hurt with extension and flexion?

See below: You may have sprained or strained your wrist. Arthritis in the wrist joint can also lead to pain. See your physician if this does not clear up in 2 weeks.

I agree: There are many things that could contribute to your symptoms. An x-ray and exam by an orthopedist may be warrented. Best of luck!
