Possible fracture: Wrist pain after a fall could be a fracture. I suggest you see your orthopedist and get an x-ray.

Concerned: If its been more than 2 days and its staying painful i strongly urge you to see your doctor. The big concern is not necessarily a fracture (break) , but a ligamentous injury which can be far worse. If its missed now the wrist will feel better in a few weeks but then you'll be sentenced to an arthritic joint later in life. Hope this helps!
