The source of all the wrist issues I've had were through curling (or reverse forearm curling) using either the straight bar or the preacher bar (pinkie side of wrist). I still curl but only with machines that allow me to position my wrists so that my palms are facing each other (I guess you could do the same thing with dumbells).
Having said that, those issues (probably tendon irritation for me), took quite a while to go away (6 months?), but were relatively benign (i.e. didn't effect my lifting) because they only were noticeable when curling.
