Might need eval: I am not sure you need to rush to the ER but I would definitely see a doctor and have the wrist evaluated.

Orthopedist: If there is an acute deterioration, call your doctor or go to hospital ED. Otherwise the best type of specialist to evaluate your wrist is an orthopedic surgeon.
