RSI or similar in wrist

[smithyithy]

I woke up yesterday with a sore left wrist (I'm right-handed before anyone makes any comments ) - it hurt to rotate and bend to the normal extent front and back.

Figured I'd just slept funny and it'd be alright after a day, but today it's the same, if not more tender, and is quite painful to rotate and bend as normal.

I don't think it's from a specific incident like lifting something as I don't recall any particular moment where it started hurting..

So I assume it's something like an RSI? The only activity I can think of that involves it is shooting, where my left wrist is extended and rotate slightly to grip the fore-end of the shotgun, and my last shoot was Thursday for a good few hours..

Question is - does this sound like an RSI? Do they tend to come on slightly delayed like this? And is there a general treatment method or is just a case of painkillers and patience?

I'm supposed to be shooting a competition tomorrow and having attempted gun mounting in my usual position it's really quite uncomfortable...

Going through exactly the same at the moment, got exercises from you tube videos, pretty good tests on the same platform to confirm diagnosis, which in my case appears to be tfcc.
