What Causes Pain In Wrist While X-ray Report Is Normal?

Hello. I am experiencing pain in my right wrist for over two years now. I can t remember exactly how it started. When I push myself up from a sitted position and bend my wrist there is a pain there. I also massage people for a job and I can t apply any pressure downwards and the pain is really bad. I don t have any limited range of motion other then when I do move the wrist it always clicks. I have no swelling, brushing or redness in the area. I have taken NSAIDs, applied ice and heat. I have had a X-ray done and the nurse said there is no visable breaks or fractures. I don t know what else I can do. Please can you help me on what you think it could be? Thank you
