Chance of fracture .: Continued swelling could be just a result of the initial trauma to your wrist. However if it is fractured/ broken you may be continually providing new traumatic stimulus to the site hence the continued swelling. Time to get it "x-ray'd!" good luck!

It's best to: Get an x-ray through your doc to make sure that nothing is broken. Peace and good health.
