The thing that seems to counteract my wrist pain is pulling exercises. Essentially anything where the wrist is pulled away from the forearm: pull ups, deadlifts, bent over rows, even stretches against the wall. Pushing against the wrist made things worse for me, but the pulling exercises counteract it.
I couldn't do push-ups when starting with a personal trainer due to the wrist pain, but the exercises helped; I'm not sure if it was pulling action, or grip strength / forearm training though; the theory with the latter is that the large muscles pick up more of the slack and offload the smaller painful muscles.
that, or just improved blood flow allowing repairs and trapped shit to be taken away.
