Old Injury?

[kaz!]

Many year's ago, I picked up something heavy, like a large pan and kept the weight ongoing for obviously a while on my wrist, ever since I pick up a pan that's heavy, my wrist cannot maintain the weight and I just have to get the pan back down without twisting it, infact, I generally do it a certain way now as i'm used to it, but I can never get used to the pain, it's an awful kind of pain in my left wrist & when I have this pain, there is no way I can twist it, as I am only too aware of what will happen. What kind of injury is this? can anybody tell me please?
Is there any possible way this can be treated?

It could be arthritis, I get that, and the pain is terrible
Try a wrist band to keep it stable when your picking things up!
It's like a bandage.

Maybe if you are real serious because the process is not fun and old injuries are way harder to fix than fresh ones.
If you want the pain gone read and apply http://www.helium.com/tm/148271

Could also be Tendonitis,there is no cure.Make sure you keep the wrist supple,try steroidal tablets,but over a long period of time they can affect organs,ie liver, pancreas and kidneys.
Steroid injections are helpful for a short while,but are painful! Catch22.
