Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.We can suspect a hairline fracture or a sprain in this case.Better to have a consultation with orthopedician and have an x ray to rule out that.Some fractures will be found only by orthopedicians.You should splint your wrist and be kept immobilize till that.You can apply ice pack for pain relief.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
