Try not to move your wrist at all!! You could use a magazine to wrap it up around your wrist because that will help you to immobilize it, and then tie it with scotch tape or something!. Someone should help you to do it!. Then go immediately to the doctor!.
Also check the sensitivity on your fingertips and press your nail for a second with your other hand until it turns white!. Then suddenly release the pressure and count the number of seconds it takes to the nail to acquire its natural color!. If your fingers feel numb or if your nail does not return to its original color in less than 3 seconds you MUST see a doctor NOW!. In any case, it is very important for you to visit your doctor!.
