Hematoma wrist: its difficult to tell without seeing you, the main concern is that blood leaks enough to cause compression on the nerved and blood supply to the hand. the important things to look at in the speed of progress of the swelling, or development of pain, pain on passive stretch of muscles in the hand. I suggest urgent medical review
