Point one. Don't f*** with the Warwick neck. They are that thickness for a reason and they have shallowed recently due to some sort of technological advance they say. I have the very neck you describe and it is a little thick, but I think thicker necks are generally more ergonomic.
There are some VERY small women who play bass, and upright bass, although, played properly, upright is more ergonomic due to the reduced flexion of the wrist, and less ulnar deviation.
The thing is, as I posted much earlier, you don't appear to have considered that other activities may be the root cause of your problem and any diagnosis on here will be completely hit or miss, which means if you are relying on it, or you own, you are putting yourself at risk of making the problem worse.
Go an see a bloody doctor!

I agree completely.
I'm tiny (5'2", with hands in proportion!), I play not one but three Warwicks, two of which are 5 string, and an upright. I have no problem at all in the wrist of my fretting hand.
As I mentioned before, I did have pain in my left (plucking) wrist, and that turned out to be Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and to be unrelated to bass playing.
So yes, go see a doctor.
