Q: one wrist bone significantly bigger than the other, slight pain? is this normal/if not what could it be?

Asymmetric wrists: Turns out we&#x27;re not exactly symmetric. However, asymmetry shouldn&#x27;t hurt. Perhaps you broke it, causing pain and swelling; callus formation is part of healing process. Go see your FamilyDoc who can order xrays, etc.
