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 crepe bandage support consulting your physician.
