Hello, I have studied your case. As per your history there can be possibility of TFCC/ligament injury around wrist or bony contusion. Pain indicates inflammatory process or nerve compression. I will advise you to do MRI and Ultrasound of wrist. Till time, you can start analgesic and cr\u00eape bandage support consulting your physician. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
