What To Do For Sprain In The Wrist?
I think I may have sprained my wrist last night and its swelled up and painful. It also looks like there's a soft bump from where it has bent back. I can still do things but am in pain all up my wrist and arm. Should I go to the hospital to get an xray as I don't want to leave it in case it causes future problems?

begin with ice pads after the injury for 48 hours very helpful for that soft bump ,elevating the hand or even an arm sling or a wrist support is helpful as a first aid , to prevent future problems you may go have a check up
