Possible wrist fracture?!
Question: Yesterday i went camping and we were going fishing i slipped on a rock and landed on my wrist/hand on other rocks it swelled up straight away so we bandaged it to stabilize it my fingers are very swallen no bursing and it hurts when i rotate my forearm (pronate and supernate my hand) its only tender to touch in the are under the ulna bone on the lateral side it also hurts a little to flex it. I can still move my fingers. I have never broken a bone before so i dont know what it feels like. Does it sound fractured?

I think you need to get it X-rayed, especially because it was swollen so fast like that. That is what is sounds like happened to mine and it was broken, especially the hurting when you rotate. Can you move the wrist up and down? It may not be broken, but still it needs to be looked at and may be bruised and in need of a brace.
It is at least bruised ( the bone that is) I would say, if not fractured.
well from the way you speak you seem like you no more than i do about this stuff and probably half of the pple here, but yah its probably fractured so take no chances and get it looked at
no*LOL* if you can still rotate it, then you are fine. and the pain would be completely unbearble, and you would know.
Go to the emergency room, have an X-ray done and find out. You'll never know asking people in here!
if u can move ur hand even just a little then its fractured but if not ur bones are broken.
