I had impact with my had and a solid object at around 40 mph xrays show no break in bones and mri revels bone bruise is a cast appropriate treatment ?

Depends: A bone bruise, in and of itself does not need to be protected in a cast the way a fracture would; but casts csn be helpful to control swelling and pain from a bone bruise, and potentially improve function.
