Is MRI Required While Swelling In Wrist Reducing?

Him my name is Erik and i hurt my wrist snowboarding. I have full range of motion and can move all my fingers. when i mover mu hand any direction my wrist hurts. the wrist is swelled up. The pain is slowly getting better but wondering if I should get a mri. I don't think its broken because I would l think i would be able to feel that and the pain would be unbarring. I know if I go to the doctor they will tell me to ice it and put it in a brace. I have already been doing that. I'm wondering if its worth it to get the MRI and if something was wrong, what they would want me to do or just put it in a brace like i already been doing.
