Hi,
If you rotate your wrist (as opening and closing lock with key) and you have mild pain then it is most probably ulnar collateral ligament sprain and if pain is sharp and severe then it is TFCC tear. If your pain is more than 4 weeks, it is most likely TFCC tear. Better Get an MRI done.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
