Second: I move to finding a glove or Thick elastic bands, put it over my fingers/thumb included, and gradually open your fingers out, like a claw. Let it back in a gradual manner again. Do this often again or increase resistance by finding a smaller sized circumferanced glove or add more elastic bands.
Third, I move to gripping weights heavily (thicker grip weights help imo), making sure my wrist are inline. And start light and work your way up. Nothing super heavy, just keep at it.
And simply not over straining it or putting it in an awkward position for a bit and rest!, (So no heavy benches, OH press, Shoulder Press, etc that puts your weak wrist in a potentially bad position) these techniques have helped me over and over again.
Side note: How did you injure it?

thanks for the reply and the tips.
Yeah I guess no benching, or OHP for awhile, which sucks cause I was seeing progress. I have been massaging it and applying medicine on it, and its feeling a lot better though.
I am not sure what caused it, but I think it was doing dumbbell press and held it at an awkward position.
