Hi!
This is really strange! If you have a fracture then you need a cast. If you did not get a cast then please go to the ER again for it. If there is strain or tendon injury then also you will need sling and wrist braces along with pain killers. In both cases physiotherapy will be started once the healing in complete. Take care!
