Often overlooked is the fact that wrist pain can be the result of back trouble. All the nerves that go to your hands (or nearly every other part of your body for that matter) travel down the inside of your spine and then out between the vertebra. So, a "crick" in your neck or back may result in pinched nerves, which is likely to be perceived as pain in an extremity. This is why posture, regular breaks and stretching and exercise are so key; slumping and frailty tend to screw up your back alignment, and can cause pinched nerves.
