Hi
You might had the fracture called colle's which is fracture of end of radial bone.If your control x-ray showed a good consolidation with out any malunion then you will be fine by physiotherapy and exercises gradually.Some times nerve injury might be there that will recover very slowly as nerve regeneration is a slow process. If you have severe pain or disability then consult orthopedician for further evaluation.Hope this may help you
