Hello,
After removal of plaster, every fracture needs physiotherapy for some days for smooth functioning of muscles and ligaments. If you are still having pain at your wrist after 6 months of fracture then you should check first for complete union of fracture. This can be checked by having a X-ray of affected part. At present, I shall advise you for physiotherapy and taking calcium supplement for relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
