We cannot tell from your limited description if it is broken, sprained or only bruised. Tonight please take care of it
Rest -- Don't use it for anything else tonight.
Ice -- Ice pack 20 minutes at a time every 3 hours while you're awake
Compression -- use an ACE wrap or elastic bandage
Elevate -- Keep your wrist above your elbow.
DUH...
probably sprained and maybe bruised tendons
depends on how you fell on it. did you land palm first and the wrist bend back? if so you tore some ligaments and tendons and just have to wait for them to heal.
or if you fell on it straight and it didn't bend back you probly just bruised it really bad.
or you could have really crappy luck and have both happen.
