What Causes Throbbing Sharp Pain In Left Wrist?

I have a throbbing, sharp pain in my left wrist. It seems to be in line with my pulse, thus making me think it s in a blood vessel. I already have carpal tunnel syndrome, so I know it isn t that. I also have lupus, and I know it s nothing like what I experience with a flare-up. I m worried about DVT s or aneurisms.
