Hello,
It may be due to fracture.
For that you may require x ray wrist after orthopedic surgeon consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Restrict your movements.
You may require sling.
You may require surgical intervention after surgeon consultation.
Use support.
Hope I have answered your query...
Let me know if I can assist you further.
