What Causes A Sharp Pain Of The Wrist?
I donated blood about a week ago. When putting the needle in I experienced sharp pain in my wrist. After that I have had pain in my wrist every time I stretch out my arm, try to lift something, or even just try to let my arm hang down while walking. I have to keep it bent to avoid this sharp wrist pain. It has been like this for 8 days now.

Hello
This sounds like an injury to the radial or the ulnar nerve at the elbow level.
You need to have a doctor evaluate this and I would get an MRI scan of the elbow to better define the problem. If the injury is minor, it should resolve in another week or two
