Hello,
As to begin with, MRI is a diagnostic procedure and it helps in understanding the soft tissue injury and MRI is not a diagnosis in any way.
The MRI shows there is ligament sprain at the wrist due to which there are changes in the soft tissues leading to inflammation.
I will advise to do hot water fermentation, use crepe bandage to stabilize the wrist joint, do simple wrist and finger range of motion exercises to regain muscle property. Once pain is less than slow and low-intensity strengthening exercises will be good to regain hand functions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
