I'm confused... they took x-rays of your wrist, allowed you to have copies of them and then didn't explain the results to you? That's very unusual, at least in my part of the world. Do you have an upcoming appointment to see a doctor to get the x-rays interpreted? If not, I'd suggest making one. That should be done in person, by someone who is able to examine your wrist and take a history of how your injury happened.
As far as I know we are all just patients on here, so most of us (me included) are not qualified to read other people's x-rays. It may also be that you have a soft tissue injury which you won't be able to see on an x-ray... you'd need an MRI or ultrasound to see that type of injury.

I honestly have no idea what you expect from us, as the other commenter has mentioned the whole scenario is odd. I can't see a fracture, but I am no expert. See a doctor, doesn't need to be an orthopod...... In the meantime painkillers, Ice and rest?
