Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you accidentally hit your hand and wrist against cabinet . You have no swelling but movements are painful. It seems to be sprain of wrist. Treatment of it is crepe bandage application and analgesic such as diclofenac. But I will also advise you to get your X-ray done to rule out fracture as fracture of small bones such as scaphoid may occur without much swelling and pain. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
