Make sure you do hand and finger stretchs and warmup before playing hardcore. The burning feeling if your been playing for ages might be lactic acid buildup in the hand which is an actual normal response when working on increasing your stamina. Your muscles in the hand aren't getting enough oxygen while they build strength. Just don't let it get to carpal tunnel symptoms! Eaze up a bit and shake it out. Don't keep playing the same thing over and over for ages but mix up the patterns. Never play if it's hurting, make sure your also not applying too much pressure and stay relaxed. If it continues, take a break for a bit, it's not worth the damage it might cause in the future (a few days break vs a few years recovery or lifetime) ekk that!

As Azzaboi said, stretching before a practicing routine is very important. I would stop playing at least for 1 or 2 days because the problem could get worse if you continue hurting your wrist.

Yes, take a week off. You need to learn your boundaries, play relaxed and always warm-up before playing.

You probably pushed too far with practice mate, it happens. It's good to visit a specialist, but it's also good to create a clear idea on how to practice. Before starting to practice, you need to warm up for 10-15 minutes, stretching fingers and all. Never attempt to do a marathon session of 2 hours without a break. It might feel good, but you will suffer later. Take 10 minute breaks every 45 minutes, and try not to do any difficult exercises longer than 10 minutes. Mix your exercises so you create a balanced session. Remember that your hands, muscles, nerves are irreplaceable!
