Try to keep your wrists straight when you bench, and for pushups, maybe try knuckle pushups (do them on a mat). If you can't stop bending your wrist back, drop 10-20 pounds from your bench, and work back up as your other muscles get strong enough to compensate for your wrists.
If you haven't been using a spotter, you might want to try that, since they can help you with stabilization (which is what your wrists do, they don't actually move the weight). Also, mix in some dumbbell presses, because those work your stability muscles more (they don't work your pecs as much though).
