Wrist pain: Kelsey, as I often tell my patients in the office, I wish I had x-ray vision. Then I could tell if things were fractured. It is even worse on the internet. There is no way to tell without an x-ray. Get seen in the morning, its not an emergency. Put ice on it, continue the ibuprofen, wrap it up. Good luck.
