Brief Answer:
No need to worry if there is no pain and stiffness of joint.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
You need not to worry if there is no pain and stiffness of joint. Slight swelling is not uncommon even after fracture healing. In fracture limb, slight swelling can be there for six months to one year.
Do hot fomentation and elevate the limb when you are not working. It will weans off gradually.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care

I do still have stiffness and a bit of low grade pain
Any worries?
My wrist has "come a long way" in six months
Maybe it still feels "funny" because of the angulation? and lack of PT?
Thanks,
