Wrist Pain

The situation I have isn't too severe, however, I know that if I ignore it, it may turn into something very serious like carpel tunnel sydrome.  I don't feel this pain very often at all, but I will get pain if there's pressure on my wrist.  Ironically, I don't feel pain when doing push ups, but sometimes after I do them I feel pain.  I want to know what I can do to stop the pain completely and how long it will take.
