Wrist Pain: May represent a wrist ligament injury, ganglion cyst, or tendon insertion injury by your description. If not improved after 10 months i would have evaluated by musculoskeletal or hand specialist.

X-rays can help rule: Out a more severe injury or a ligament injry that needs attention. If a cyst formed it may not just go away by itself as well. If xray is negative and a ligament injury or fracture is still suspected then at times more advanced imaging is used such as mri.
