Twitching: I think this is from your fall. I suggest antiinflammatory medicine only if there is pain or swelling- urgent care is a good option if not improved within 48 hrs.

Fall: It will be best to go to urgent care and get an x-ray and make sure there is no evidence of fracture or worsening nerve or subcutaneous bleeding problems.

Try ice: If you can move everything and have no tender spots, you could start with ice and ibuprofen. If symptoms continue or worsen, go to see your regular doctor later this week.

My wrist is sore for just over a week. It only hurts for specific movements just below the base of my thumb. Some movements makes my thumb twitch/move very slightly. What could be wrong and what can I do?

Why does the wrist area on the thumb side feel weak sometimes (bony part that sticks out). Can you sprain your hand without swelling but feel's sore ?
