when I bend my wrist forward or backwards, my wrist hurts very badly. I did not injured it that I am aware of. The pain is getting worst. Also in the same hand, when I sleep, my pinkie finger and ring finger fall asleep and I wake up with pin and needles in these two fingers.

Hi,
These may be the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It is caused by compression of the nerve that controls sensation and movement in the hands which is the median nerve. The treatment depends on severity of the symptoms and how long you have been suffering. Wrist splints and steroid injections may help. Surgery is offered in severe cases or when the symptoms have persisted for longer than 6 months.
I suggest you see your doctor to confirm the diagnosis.

Dr K A Pottinger
