Would you know if you broke a bone in your wrist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually, yes - pain!: Broken bones (fractures) in the wrist usually also cause swelling, bruising, and you won't be able to move your wrist through its full range of motion. Sometimes grip strength is also limited. If you are concerned, you should see a doctor for a physical exam and an xray.
