Had A Fall, Wrist Is Sore And Painful, Has A Bruise, Feels Warm Outside. Now What?

Hello Doctor! Yesterday, I fell backwards due to a wet floor and some not-so forgiving shoes. Immediately, i did not feel any symptoms... well, just laughter. About two hours later, I touched my wrist and noticed it was incredibly sore and painful to touch. It was swollen a little bit, which caused it to look a little curvy. The pain is on my ulna close to my wrist and is starting to bruise a small bit. please help me. It also kind of feels warm inside, but not on the outside, and feels a little week. Please help! Thanks! Kristin Baker

I think You must get an Xray wrist done to rule out fracture.
Your symptoms are severe enough to suspect a fracture.
