Hi guys!
Well first off, I'm an idiot (read below) and I'm now paying the price for my stupidity.
I play pennant squash (ie once per week in a local competition). During one match back in October last year, I was playing absolutely terribly, and as such, lost the match. In a final fit of rage before leaving the court after the final point, I punched the back wall with my right fist. It wasn't just a little tap; it had some force behind it. I punched the wall with my right wrist cocked left. As such, my pinkie and ring knuckles receiving the brunt of the force.
Consequencly, I walked off court with a very sore and tender hand. Initially I had difficulty extending my fingers, but half hour later I regained full functionality. At that point, my ring and pinkie knuckles were tender when pressed on with a finger. My middle and index knuckle were not sore or tender to touch.
Next day I woke up with a sore wrist, and tender pinkie/ring knuckles. The soreness in my wrist was gone a day later, with the tenderness in the pinkie/knuckle was gone a month or so after the incident.
My problem is this: When performing any movement were the palms of my hands face my body (ie barbell/dumbbell curls, chin ups ect ect) I feel a pain in my right wrist, in and around the "head" to the "intercarpal articulations" region (refer to diagram below). There is no other pain in my right wrist.

This pain has been present in my right wrist since I stupidly punched the wall. I've switched exercises so they don't strain or give me any pain in my right wrist (ie hammer curls don't hurt my wrist, and neither do pullups...), but the pain is still present when I perform a chin up or a standard barbell/dumbbell curl, or any mid/heavy lifting movement were my palms are facing my body ie lifting up a slab of beer from the bottom.
I've recently seen a doctor; he has stated I've got Tendonitis. I've also had x-ray of my wrist, the results of which I should know by Tuesday next week.
I'm wondering what damage I've done to my right wrist, if it's permanent, and whether I'll require surgery to fix the problem?
I know this isn't a medical forum; basically I'm just after some general advice and experiences from those who may have experience a similar issue, and what they did to resolve this issue.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
Cheers
