johnny,

i go through fits and starts of wrist pain myself. so far the best thing i've found as a short term, get you through the flair up right now kind of thing is to wrap the hand and wrist in a boxing hand wrap. it supports the hand and wrist better than ANY wrist wrap and gives the wrist a chance to rest while you can still work and or train.

also, try doing ankle circles on the opposite ankle. (i.e. if the left wrist hurts do the circles on the right ankle.) the fascia in the body runs in spirals, so you work the opposing joint to rehab the hurting joint.

stand nice and tall with a long spine and try to make as slow and precise a circle as possible, 3x clock and 3x counter-clockwise, 3x day.

for grip training, try to make or use thick bars and captains o' crush if you can drop a few bucks. thick handled KB's, a la, dragondoor style and wet towels are all good grip training.

Sifu likes the windlass.
