Wrist pain since past 4 weeks

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

4-5 weeks ago, I got a wrist sprain because of a game of foosball that I was playing that involved twisting my wrists to hit the ball. The sprain was temporary and fixed within a few hours. It happened a couple of times. Second, one of the days during the above, I accidentally slept in a position that felt like another wrist sprain. Few days later, during a simple push up, I felt pain in the same wrist. Since 5 weeks now, the pain hasn't gone. I applied balm, wrist protection "maraham patti", but the situation hasn't changed. There's no swelling so there's probably no ligament tear or fracture of any sort. But the pain just won't go. Can anyone advice on what's wrong and what should I do next?
