Wrist tenderness

Good evening,

I am male, 22 years old. While playing soccer i was hit on the left hand with the ball, and a forced dorsiflexion of the wrist occurred.
At the beginning i had only a very mild tenderness only at extreme ranges without noticeable swelling. Some hours later, when i relaxed after soccer pain increased a bit but remained mild again at increased ranges. I went to a GP who examined me, banded my wrist using a bandage to stabilise it a bit and gave me antiinflammatories. After 3-4 days pain is a bit milder and only at extreme ranges. All the time after the injury i feel much pain when trying to support my weight on my thenars (i can not support my weight on my thenars), whereas i feel no pain when trying to support my weight on my fingers. I have no tenderness at the anatomical snuffbox.
Bad news are that i am in a village without equipment for radiographs and i will be able to have one in about 4 days when i will go to a nearby city.
I am a medical student.
What do you believe that is my condition? What do you suggest i should do?

Thank you in advance
