Lateral Raises = wrist pain.

[doctapeppa]

Doing lateral raises is hurting the ulnar side of my wrist while I'm doing them. Not terrible pain but kind of like a sore pain. The pain is worse on the up movement. I am then sore there for about 4 days after the exercise. The right wrist more than the left but both hurt. This is a fairly new exercise for me and I am doing them with 25 lb dumbbells. I'm doing them with my back fairly vertical and about a 30 degree bend in my elbows. When I come all the way up my elbows are a bit higher than my hands.

Should I just do a different exercise or should I drop the weight? My shoulders could probably lift more weight on this movement but I can't lift more because of my wrist.
