I am a weight lifter and I have been feeling a growing discomfort & pain in the ulnar side of my wrist during radial deviation movements for my left hand in the past week. I tried using wrist straps to make sure my wrist stays fixed during my workouts however the pain has been increasing.
Currently, while I am not facing pain or discomfort when my wrist stays at rest, I am unable to put pressure on my wrist with an open palm (for example when getting off my bed etc.) since it is causing a stiffness and dull pain on my wrist, and I am feeling pain or mild discomfort in the ulnar side of my wrist when I am doing radial deviation movements.
I understand I need to consult a doctor soon and I will.
As of now, can someone please suggest some immediate steps that I can take to at least stop further agitating this issue?

You may have sprained the wrist ligaments during lifting the weights.Continue with the wrist support, avoid lifting weights till your symptoms are relieved.Take some otc pain reliever.Consider doing physiotherapy with ultrasonics.If the ain lasts longer despite treatment,may need an MRI.
