If you didn't do anything obvious to cause this, chances are it is caused by some type of repetitive use of the wrist - from an activity where you hold your wrist in an odd angle, playing computer or video games, and sometimes even from sleeping with your wrist in a bent position or with part of your body pressing down on your wrist.
The easiest thing to do is go to Wal Mart and get a wrist immobilizer and wear it all the time for a few days, along with taking Ibuprofen a couple times each day. If the problem is cause by repetitive use, things should begin to clear up after 3-4 days. It can take a few weeks for things to clear up entirely.

Yes you must have dones something to it or else it wouldn't be in pain. The best thing would be to go to the doctors and get it looked at and a possible X-Ray to see what is going on inside that wrist of yours. You should go A.S.A.P though because it has already been 5 days and the longer it goes untreated and is in use, the more damage is likly to happen.

Yep! When u sprain it you wouldn't remember but don't worry, while sleeping, wrap it with a cold towel, after a few days it'll be gone.
