Wrist pain
Hi, I have pain in my left wrist. I can move it around. However it moves with pain. I cannot put pressure on the hand too. When I give a hot water treatment or infra red treatment, it feels much better for a short while I wanted to understand the reason and whether is it due to my phone usage. The phone handset is quite heavy.

The phone usage is definitely contributing to the stiffness and weakness of the muscles around the wrist. In addition if it is the non dominant hand the daily activities where you require to apply pressure are also responsible.
Next Steps
avoid holding the mobile, give rest to the hand for few days and then start daily activities.
