Hi, hand is fine but your wrist is paining means that there is no fracture in hand ( i.e. point of impact....u r lucky) but there is a possibility wherein the carpal bones like scaphoid can get fractured due to transmitted impact.This needs to be ruled out clinically and by an x ray.Once this is ruled out , we can go ahead and treat it in the form of WRIST SPRAIN with a wrist brace and analgesics.It may take as long as 15 days for u to get relieved of this pain.
