Underside of my wrist is painful w any movement. is this likely a strain or sprain? it is painful & tender no bruising. injured it doing bisep curls.

Sprain likely: As you did curls, you most likely did a strain to the muscle, and this should resolve in a few days, if it does. It,mother see an orthopedist for an X ray to,rule out a slight fracture. A wrist compression wrap and topical NSAIDs will,help in the acute phase, as well as icing the affected area
