Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Extreme pain on moving the wrist can be due to a bone injury or a ligament tear. Soft tissue injuries are usually not extremely painful. if it is associated with swelling also then fracture is more likely. Avoid all painful activities and attend an ER for X-ray.
I hope this answers your query.

Wishing you good health.
