9. Possibly because you strained it again without realizing it.

It is unfortunate that sometimes injuries don't hurt until later. It can make it hard to understand the cause(s) since they occurred yesterday in a flurry of random events.

Try using a shower massager on the wrist with very warm to hot water for a few minutes daily for a while, even forever.

The only thing that heals the body is the body itself. To heal, you need energy and oxygenated blood flow. The shower massager can aid the blood and lymphatic flows through the area, and also reduce inflammation.

If it's joint pain, it may never get better. If it's tendons (likely), it'll be a few weeks. If it's muscle, just a few days.
