Doesn't matter now.: Did you have trauma to it? If so and the symptoms are mild then you should see your doctor if the pain persists for more than a few days. If no trauma then you should see your doctor right away because your swollen wrist could be a symptom of an illness like arthritis that would need to be evaluated to reduce damage to your joints. Ice it. now regardless since that will help with the pain.
