Sprain: Sprain of muscle or ligament is likely with that type of injury. Treatment consists of resting that wrist, applying cold for 48 hours and then switching to intermittent heat. Taking an anti-inflammatory like Advil or Aleve with food helps minimize, pain and inflammation. Get examined if you have persistent pain and swelling.
