What Could Cause Frequent, Sharp Pain In Wrists?

I have sharp, drop to your knees type pain in my left wrist. I sometimes get it in both wrists. The pain is on the top part centered and towards wrist. I may have it for a few weeks then it goes away for months and comes back. Pain strikes while opening a door, shoe laces, when least expect it. What could this be?
