Congratulations on making the team!
If you can move your arm and hand comfortably, and the wrist isn't swollen or exquisitely painful in one specific area (point tenderness), it is probably just a strain!. Ice, anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofin, and elevation are the ticket!.
Ace bandage it when you are up (not necessary when you are sleeping)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should have an ice pack on it now! And if you can take it, you need some Advil, it will help with the swelling!. The ace bandage is good for support!. With any injury like that remember, the first 24hrs afterward!.!.ice pack and if you don't have one, use some frozen veggies or put some ice cubes in a plastic bag and use that!. Leave the ice on for a few minutes then take it off!. Five minutes later on again!. Keep doing this till bedtime!. The next day is heat, a warm washcloth or heating pad on low!. When you are not using a pack then wear the ace for support for a couple days, then you should be okay!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just remember R!.I!.C!.E!.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

then when it's healed, get a physio to teach you techniques to stretch your wrist!. I had a friend who broke his wrist and after he got the cast off, his wrist looked really stiff!.

P!.S!. Good job on the win, sounds like a good sacrificeWww@Answer-Health@Com

i permanently broke my wrist and i did the same thing at first but then relized it came way out a place and had a huge bulge in my wrist but yeah u did the right thing Www@Answer-Health@Com
