Should be rechecked : X-rays can definitely miss some kinds of fractures, especially initially. The good news is they tend not to be extremely serious fractures, but still can require different treatment. Sprains can also take a long time to heal. Sometimes a wrist mobilizer I can help. If you continue to have problems you should be rechecked
