Chronic Wrist pain...help!!

So the patient is myself!
I am a recent grad and experiencing left wrist pain since Sept.
I was stretching a patients heel chords and noticed the pain shortly after and since the pain has been pretty much constant. I cannot seem to find the cause of the pain. There has been no swelling and no paresthesia.
Pain present with passive flexion and extension, moderate pain with resisted flexion and extension. Grasping large objects such as a melon are difficult and carrying heavy objects such as grocery bags etc. Pain with palpation on dorsal surface of the wrist predominately around the capitate region.
I don't find much relief with ice either.
This problem has become quite troubling as I am starting work soon and need both my hands! I have consulted other PTs and no one seems to have an answer for me.

Any advice is much appreciated!
Thank you
