Hi,

Thanks for your question.
After going through your question, noted your concern.

There might be possibility of muscle sprain or even fracture of small bone of wrist (carpal bone fracture).

It is advisable to consult orthopedic surgeon for detailed clinical examination there may be need for xray of wrist.
