If it were me I'd and ride a something and see how the wrist responds and if it affects the horse even if its a private lesson somewhere you trust and then work out from there. If its is affecting you then I'd work out if its just lack of fitness (the other one will probs be feeling it too), I'd crack on with some lessons but I assume you're sending murph away to be backed? So he'd come back and you'd ride him away/do hacking in which case I'd crack on and in the meantime see a physio for strengthening.
If it is ouchie/not right/can't grip/can't use reins I'd go down the specialist/doctor route as you may need more than a bit of physio and it would be better to do it before he's backed and you want to ride/do things? Lady at the yard fell off broke her wrist, had a cast on it hadn't healed straight and was causing discomfort. She went back had a small op and is now much better with her wrist and was back riding very quickly.
I only say this with wonky back that ignored all advice to not ride (I didn't jump a lot or do long hacks all the time btw) as I found it actually helped me get better and strengthened and straightened me out, helped my weight distribution etc (still not perfect but working on it). I also know that wrists affect Redmonster and if I have spent all day with my right wrist mousing and its tense, we can't do decent schooling until it is relaxed again as we aren't straight (as we should be) and sometimes I get a very very slight heaviness or head tilt....
