Ever since my 2020 incident my wrist hasn't been good.
MRI showed I tore a small ligament in the wrist and I went through hand therapy and saw a surgeon about it while the insurance claim was ongoing.
The guy went "where does it hurt exactly, left or right side" and I went "what are you on about? The whole damn wrist hurts" ... His answer to that was that one side was the ligament but the rest was "just your ordinary arthritis" ... FML
To bring this back on topic, the sqlab 12deg bars and ESI grips made a positive difference, as did fiddling with bar roll and lever angle. But I also don't ride MTB north of 2hrs very often, so I don't have that long exposure to discomfort on MTB.
On the roadie and gravel bikes I seem to be okay with the wrist and struggle with nerve issues and numb hands more, especially since the arm break and nerve transposition in March. Ironically that seems to affect the opposite side more, maybe because I unconsciously keep weight off of the side that was broken.

This sounds like what I have at the moment.
I've just started trying to wipe my arse right-handed again after crashing and it's actually the outside of my wrist that's more painful than my shoulder or anything.
One of the exercises they gave me after surgery was to simply sit and rotate the wrists, palm up to palm down and the right wrist has pain along the outside when it gets to either extreme of the rotation. The pain is right behind the "wrist knuckle".
