Answers:
It could be fractured, sprained, strained or simply injured!. You would have to have an X-Ray to know for sure!.

It may be swollen internally!. Normally fractures show characteristics of bruising, but not always!.

Since the accident only happened an hour before you posted this question the pain could go away or get worse!. If it continues you should seek medical help!.

The wrist is pretty resiliant!. It could be a minor injury that will heal on its own!. But if it is a serious injury you will need a doctor to properly treat it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Put ice on it!. If it sends searing pains up your arm, then its broken!.
The nerve endings in the bone would react violently toward an extreme temperature such as the coldness of ice!. If you its too painful when you put ice on it, get to a hospital!. Don't move it, try and keep the arm as still as possible!. I suggest going to the hospital anyway, they can give you advice on how long until it heals etc!. Pressure bandages help reduce the swelling, so if its not broken, you will most likely have to wear one for a few days!.
Earlier in the year, when i nearly broke my wrist in the first soccer game of the season, it hurt for ages after i actually injured it, but it wasnt fractured!.
I still suggest going to a hospital pronto!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It very well maybe fractured, if not broken (it won't hurt as much as you think depending on the kind of break there is) or it could possibly just be jammed as well!. I would personally wait out the night and see if I can get some sleep, then if it still hurts a lot in the morning, go to the hospital!. But then again I'm stubborn and the normal person would go to the hospital now because going around with a fractured wrist can be bad and may never heal correctly without going to a hospital!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
