Left side or right? But the Xray is only of the left wrist…as a big L is printed on the film.
Though the pic of the film isn’t very clear but there’s a small crack over the lower end of the radius.
It will require to be protected with a cast for 3-4 weeks.
Trust your doctor who has told you to put the cast on. Please go back and get it done.
