Broke a fall with my hand. pain in this triangle between 2 tendons and difficulty moving my thumb. just a sprain, or something more serious?

You need an xray...: You may have fractured a small bone in the wrist, near the thumb, called the scaphoid. It's common for fractures of that bone to be missed (because they, eventually, stop hurting), but left untreated, can cause MAJOR problems in the future. See your doctor for an Xray
