May need x-ray!: You don't say how long your wrist has been hurting. Any time there is pain and swelling after an injury, a fracture is possible. Unfortunately, there is no way to guess whether or not a bone is broken without an x-ray. Please don't use your wrist until you have had it checked in person. Elevate it above your heart, and put ice on it, for 30 minutes only at a time, while you are waiting to be seen.
