I have this pain in my wrist, its deep and its on the underside of my wrist just above my hand, right down the middle... if feels like a blood problem. My husband says its not carpol tunnel, because his dad had it and its not any of my symptoms. Its this piercing pain, and is random that lasts for only a few seconds, and then comes back a couple minutes later.

Go to the doctors and get checked out. You would not want it to get worse.

There are a lot of bones, tendons, veins etc in your wrist so it could be any number of things. Carpal tunnel syndrome generally causes not only pain but some numbness or tingling in the fingers. Get an xray and see if they can find out what is causing it. I've even had a chiropractor adjust my wrist and it really helped. Try some massage on yourself and see if that helps. It wouldn't hurt to try some compresses. Apply a cold pack for 10 minutes, let it rest for 10 minute then a hot pack. It helps get the blood flow going. You may find one feels better than the other and that can help narrow down the problem too.

A complete description of pain and functional capacity of the wrist would have added further preciseness to the suggestions. You have not related in which hand is this problem occuring. Generally, in such cases, suspicion of hair line fracture/dislocation of carpel bones/tear of intercarpellar ligaments cannot be overruled without a proper diagnosis, even healing of it cannot be optimum and deformations during healing process may actually pressurize neighboring organs and cause aggarvation of pain. It can be also GAS which is genral anxiety syndrome, in certain cases it causes proprioceptor incapacity to carry out its function properly. Toning of arm muscles and complete movement exercises of the hand may provide relief from the pain symptoms. Complete assessment of this condition requires medical diagnostics involving x-ray of the wrist and manual and physiological assessments. Age, gender, general medical conditions and usage of hand can be other factors affecting the duration of treatment and physiology of the location. Exercise and hydro therapy can be highly effective apart from minor surgical manipulations if required.

I would have an MRI done. I have pains like that and for me it turned out that a nerve in my elbow is moving and the tendon in my wrist is stretching. Don't wait for it to get worse, have it checked out. Its better to find out that its something simple that can be easily fixed than let it wait and get worse.
