What could my wrist pain be?

What could my wrist pain be?

I am a 17 year old female. About two years ago I fell on my wrist while running backwards during a basketball drill. During the season my coach taped it straight so I couldn't bend it because with bending the pain shot into the center of the top of my wrist. Since then I have had recurrent pain about once every month, lasting for about a week. I can not put pressure upon my wrist to support myself during this time and when not in use if my wrist is bent the pain is dull and achey (achy) until I move it to a comfortable position.  About a year ago I went to the doctor and got X-Rays and they said it was just a bone bruise and put me in a **** up splint for a week, this helped to some degee but then the pain returned. The athletic trainer at my highschool can usually pinpoint the pain by pushing on a bone in the top of my wrist and then bending it downward he says that one of the small bones in my wrist is out of place but the doctor says its just a bone bruise. What could be wrong?

Follow the X-ray as a proof and confirm it near an orthopaedician. If you do not have a fracture there is nothing much to worry.  Even if you have some tendons or ligaments effected you will have nagging problem. With adequate rest and anti inflammatory drugs you will be fine. Take care and always follow up an expert advice.
