My daughter fell during netbal on her wrist yesterday. it is not blue or swollen. but she is still complaining 24 hours later that it is painfull from the wrist up, and can not seem to turn her wrist. might it be fractured?

Maybe!: We don't know how old she is. Regardless, though, please get her checked out today. The only way to be sure that it is not fractured is to get the wrist x-rayed. Do not make her use it more or do anything that makes it hurt, till she is checked out. Safest would be to put the arm in a wrist brace and sling till the x-rays are done.
