Yes: Sounds like you accidentally discovered your wrists have unequal size or circumference. The history of injury in the bigger wrist makes sense. Somehow in healing the wrist got bigger. If you have pain and warmth and redness at wrist, it may be a sign of ongoing inflammation.

Check with tape: simple things first. Is it bigger. is the cuff smaller. did you button the tighter button. DId it go away. Was the writ injury recent. If not it wont be related. Likely you slept with it hanging out of the bed and it was swollen but it is now better. If it is swollen and stays swollen for more than a day. get it checked out with your doctor.
