You could have a ganglion cyst. You said you can see some inflammation on the back of your wrist. Most gc’s are found on young adults and on the dorsal (back side) of your wrist. It’s a pretty simple procedure to drain the cyst.
It could also be that you have repetitive use syndrome if you play a lot of golf. If that’s the case you need to rest your wrist until you are pain free. Then when you play wear a wrist support.
Good luck!

How can we prevent carpal tunnel syndrome?

Prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome may involve redesigning work stations, tools, or the job, and educating workers. Proper work station design reduces awkward wrist positions and minimizes the stressful effects of repetitive motions. Awkward positions can originate from unsuitable work station designs that do not take into account the size and proportions of the human body. Work stations should be adjustable and should accommodate a vast majority of people who work in that area.
