One of the most common causes of wrist pain is called DeQuervain’s. DeQuervain’s is caused by overuse of two muscles that move your thumb, called Abductor Pollicis Longus and Extensor Pollicis Brevis. However, the pain occurs at the level of your wrist where the thumb tendons enter a tunnel, called the first dorsal compartment. Thumb tendons can get squashed here, resulting in pain in your wrist.
