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.

I just hit my hand on something hard and immediately my thumb at the joint became slightly swollen and bruised. It's not hurting unless I mash on it. It is a little numb at the joint, but not bad. Is this most likely a sprain, fracture, or break?

MRI and Xrays are not showing any fractures nor swelling. What can be causing my hand pain after a fall four years ago when I landed on the fleshy part of my hand underneath my thumb?
