What Causes Wrist And Arm Pain With Tenderness And Swelling?

My left wrist/lower arm was bent and twisted pretty hard. And i had a watch on and it dug into my arm, and it started hurting a couple hours. And the next day it was swollen in that spot with tenderness and barely any discoloration, but when my hand is pointed down where the pressure of the blood flows it hurts worse than it being upright. Is this a ruptured vein or? I don t know. Please help me.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

From description it seems to be soft tissue injury.Due to injury there can be hematoma collection .The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection.

I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray /MRI of the area affected under his/her guidance.
In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
