Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. You have got hairline fracture of your wrist by fall from cycle. You wrist is still painful. You can apply crepe bandage ( elastic bandage) on it as your wrist is still painful. Splits are better and you should be able to find one in your pharmacy or get one made by occupational therapists.

You can take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. I want to know how many days back you got injury.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
