if you fractured your wrist, it should be deformed, swollen and terribly painful (in this case go take an xray). most likely, you sprained wrist ligaments or the triangular cartilage (a meniscus-like structure of the wrist). ice rest wrapping and local nsaids. if it doesn't pass in 15 days, take a wrist rmn to better understand the damaged structure and plain a possible surgical repaor
