Wrist pain playing power chords

Wrist & forearm pain

Sorry if I’ve posted in the wrong section. Not as obvious on this new site. I am experiencing wrist pain and growing forearm pain in my left (fretting) hand. I have been guilty of bending my wrist especially on barre chords but I can’t reach the higher note strings when I straighten it. Is there a halfway position between the two? I’m having to start missing days because of the pain.

Hope that this helps,
Greetings,Rogier
