  1. go to the docter and have a look and it's not that bad but I think you sprained it and bruised it but go check with a docter first.


  2. Probably a sprain. Which degree, I'd have to see the wrist myself. If it has bruises and it's very swollen, you might need a cast which you' wear for 3 weeks at the most.

    If it's just mildly swollen, you could use an elastic bandage but don't tighten it up too much. Take antiinflamatory pills (choose your favorite COX2 inhibitor like Paracetamol or Ibuprophen) and take them for 3 days. Avoid injuring your wrist more and stay off the ice. If it's just a 1st degree sprain with just some mild pain when moving it, it will heal in 10 days.

    There is still a slight chance you fractured it, it's up to you to decide whether to spend the cash with an x-ray and a cast or not (and I assure you they will out a cast on your wrist and they aren't cheap).

  3. its just a sprain!i got the same thing from skateboarding just apply pressure on it or wear those wrist support gloves!

    mine lasted a week before i can move it freely again!

  4. Go to the doctor and have it looked at. If it's not broken you probably sprained it pretty badly.  In th mean time if it's swelling ice it and wrap it up.
