Not to worry much as this pain and stiffness is because of the trauma you had last nigh and it may be there for some time..but try to make movements of your wrist slowly slowly...and see to it that the swelling doesn't increasse...for pain you may take diclofinac paracetamol for 2-3 days under your physician's advice and still it pan persists you can take a xray to be on a safer side
