Chronic Wrist pain from weightlifting

About 9 months ago I started doing some basic progression weightlifting to put on some weight, and about 2 months in I started having wrist pain which progressively got worse until I stopped the workout routine. Even after stopping, everyday activities such as washing dishes and carrying things like groceries became burdensome. Went to the doctor, x-rays and mri were negative for any structural damage, was told to give it some rest adjust my lifestyle for a little while.
Fast forward several months to now, I’m still having problems, went back to the doctor and their proposed next step is a wrist scope (didn’t know this was a thing).
Has anyone ever had similar problems to this? The problem definitely stemmed from the weightlifting a while ago. I was mixing in a lot of pushups, and there was never an incident or moment of injury but seems like just from repeated use. Im in my 20s and sort of lanky so I’m not really built for weightlifting, but no way this is normal.
Any guesses on what’s goin on here? I’d like to get back to weightlifting but at this time it’s really affecting my day to day life.

I always wear wrist wraps to give my wrists added support when lifting.
No issues with my wrists if I wear them as needed.
You probably went to hard, too fast, and your joint flared up.

Sounds like an issue with your form on bench imo.
Where are you putting the bar in your hands when pressing?

Any numbness or tingling?

Wear wrist wrap 24/7 for a week or so, give it a little support for a bit

Yes. Things that helped for me are wrist, forearm, and elbow prehab and rehab stretches. Look them up on YouTube. When lifting never allow your wrist to hyperextend. Grip the bar tightly and don't let it bend you back.

probably form, be careful hand placement and of any twisting action when pushing dumbbells

For what it's worth, after watching that video I posted and focusing on grip and wrist relationship, it was a 100% difference for me today regarding wrist strain.
If you haven't watched the grip part, you should.

Same thing happened to me, took me about a year to get better. I was living shite that was too heavy.
You'll heal faster than me, I reaggravted it a lot.

Have you been checked for nerve issues? It could be carpal tunnel or neck injury.

Overuse of wrist flexors
Under use of wrist extensors most likely

As dumb as this sounds, it is very possible. I was having a problem with my left wrist for months and it turned out to be a nerve problem I've traced to my neck. Still working through it now, but I may have thoracic outlet which is a bitch

I had wrist problems in my teens and early 20’s. I was skinny and lanky. It eventually went away in its own. I think I was lifting too heavy, to quickly or maybe my body just got used to it finally. Not sure.

I strengthen my wrists with different holds and movements
