Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Wrist

My pisiform bone has been swollen for almost 4 months did an MRI, X-ray, and a nerve test nothing shows what wrong. As time go on its getting more painful by the day. I turned my wrist a wrong way and since then it s been swollen. On the side of my right hand under the pinky finger and around my wrist is where it hurts. I have tingling all the time and the pain just stays. No one knows what s wrong can you help me.
