Hey Mave,
what kind of an angle is your fretting hand at when wrapped around the bottom of the neck?
If you are trying to look at the strings while you fret you are probably putting a lot of stress on your wrist by bending and holding that angle for a long period of time. Practice a few minutes a day on a few chord progressing with your eyes closed so you don’t have to bend the wrist a lot to fret the notes.It will take a while to get good at not needing to look at the strings.
As i have said in other forum sections I use a therapeutic squeeze ball almost every day and squeeze and release and bend my wrist a lot every day. also i use the chinese steel balls and roll them around a lot while reading or doing activities that don’t require my hands. All of this seems to help, but I do notice that there are angles that i hold my wrist in that do put a lot of stress on it. I use CBD cream when the pain is noticeable and that does help also.
