At this time I would diagnose a sprain and feel that the bruise is a contusion rather than a sign of fracture or torn ligament. Absence of swelling is a good sign. A wrist sprain can take 10-14 days to heal. If no gradual improvement in pain, get examined & advised by your physician or an orthopedic surgeon.
