Is your left hand your non dominant hand? You could be flexing or bending your wrist to try to get the weight up easier and that could be causing it to hurt. Try to not bend your wrists. I did this a little bit when I started out because my left hand is my non dominant and so it was slightly weaker.

Okay this might be insane but I pretend I’m a Lego with Lego hands and really focus on using my muscles instead of the joint and bend in my hands. It works!

Are you doing curls together or isolated? Being new you may wanna try some iso exercises if you feel imbalanced. Work on your form before lifting heavier. Squeeze at the bicep, not the wrist.
