“Distal radius fracture? ”
I broke my wrist in October of 2020. When my cast was removed the orthopedic said my hand healed great, but it still hurts. I can't put pressure on it or bend it too far back. I experience aching pains in my wrist, a painful burning sensation up my forearm, I have a ganglion cyst near the fracture. I don’t experience frequent swelling, and ice packs only make the pain worst. I may take ibuprofen to ease the pain but it never works. I don’t know what’s going on with my wrist please help me.

It’s hard to tell looking at that single view, but the more I would be very helpful
I would recommend going to see an orthopaedic hand surgeon who will most likely get an MRI to look for ligament injuries in the wrist.
Consult PT/OT. Start Acupuncture with Moxibustion. Consult Functional Medicine. Wear a soft brace cotton Tubigrip tubular support bandage even when sleeping.
It is not unusual for a ganglion cyst to cause symptoms or be caused by another abnormality in the wrist. You need to have it evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon soon.
Good luck,
