hi i have read your description of injury and now it is causing pain uotp elbow and tingling sensation . your x rays are normal. It is quite possible that you have soft tissue injury at the wrist causing swelling inside the wrist joint. In my clinic I would advise , splintage ( Immobilization of wrist ) to reduce further damage to soft tissues due to movement , prescribe pain killers and rest ( For The affected hand) for 2-3 weeks.
