A member asked:
I fell on my wrist earlier today while skiing. it doesn't hurt, just feels tight and i have a blue mark- probably a bruise. nothing to worry about?

Hmmmm . . . : Bad sprains can also have a blue mark. Is there swelling in addition to the tightness and blue mark? It's easier than you think to break a wrist bone. You may want to get an xray to be sure, especially if this is your dominant hand.
