How Can Severe Pain Around The Wrist And The Small Finger Be Treated?

Problem with right wrist on pinky side surround ulnar bone that protrudes some from the wrist. Mostly dull pain on and off for the past two years, occasionally will have much sharper pains with things like driving or using a mouse. Have tried both resting and strengthening it. X-ray showed nothing wrong. MRI results below are very vague. Doctor told me he didn’t know what to do with those results except maybe rest more. I would like to go back into training and exercising, weightlifting, body weight stuff, tennis, softball, etc. What is the best way to do this?MRI impression: 1. Possible partial tearing of the volar meniscal homolog at its triquetral attachment, evidenced by irregular interstitial contrast signal and contrast extending into the mid carpal joint at the triquetral-hamate articulation. 2. Suspected sprain versus low-grade, partial thickness tear of the volar radioulnar ligament, with slight dorsal translation of the distal ulna with respect to the radius. 3. The triangle or fibrocartilage articulate disc, scapholunate ligament, and lunotriquetral ligament remain intact. 4. No acute fracture or high grade/full thickness cartilaginous injury. 5. Suspected small synovial/ganglion cyst emanating along the volar margin of the radioscaphoid fossa, of questional clinical significance.
