I've had x-ray for my wrist and found i have a small crack in wrist and have been told by my doctor it will heal in a month, but i feel it hasn't.

Rest, splint & wait : Fractures usually take 6 weeks to heal. If you are wearing a splint & resting your wrist, your pain should be improving. If the pain worsens or a deformity is seen, you must get another x-ray & see an orthopedic surgeon.
