Could it be like..carpal tunnel or whatever people get in their veins? Whatever..Ive got this before I don't know why its coming back now. I know its in my vain though. I just got done drinking but eh that has nothing to do with my veins. I don't think so anyways.

There's always something to numb the pain.

Carpal Tunnel has nothing to do with veins, it's nerve damage in the wrist brought on by repetitive motions (typing on a keyboard for example).

Yeah I'm pretty sure there aren't many nerves in your veins. Carpal Tunnel is based in the nerves.

Hmm. Sorry I didn't know that. I just heard that term before and thought for some reason it had something to do with veins..

lol- I only know that because I'm studying for my anatomy and physiology test as we speak. It may feel like it's in a vein when it is really not.Veins don't have any nerves connected to them, so your veins cannot really "hurt".  Carpal tunnel feels like a tingly "pins and needles" sensation with mild numbing preceding. You also could have just pulled a tiny muscle  or something. There are a lot in the wrist.

How do you position your wrists while typing?
Do you play a musical instrument?
I think that tendonitis(sp?) is more likely than Carpal Tunnel.

Yeah, it all really just depends on when the pain is coming and what you're doing when it does come.  Is there anything more specific other than that you feel pain?
