Have you had any previous injuries to your wrist? That may give an idea where the problem is. If you have these issues for the last 5 months please see an Orthopaedic Surgeon to get an x-ray done. They may need to do a stress x-ray of the wrist to diagnose it. There are certain wrist joint ligaments which provide stability to the wrist, those ligaments may be affected.
Next Steps
Consult an Orthopaedic or Hand Surgeon for further evaluation.
