Answers:
OK don't listen to amigandhi17!. When you sprain something, you follow the R!.I!.C!.E approach:

Rest - Don't move your wrist!.

Ice - Apply an ice pack to your wrist!. Wrap the ice pack in a dish towel and don't allow your skin to be frostbitten!.

Compression - Wrap your wrist in a tensor / ACE bandage to immobilize it and apply gentle pressure!.

Elevation - Try and keep your arm elevated at or above the level of your heart!.

Doing this will reduce the pain and swelling!. Swelling causes further damage to your injury!. Pro athletes heal quickly because they take care of their injuries properly right away instead of continuing to play injured!.

You should seriously consider going to the doctor or hospital to get it checked out!. There are a lot of little bones in your wrist and it's important to make sure none of them are broken!. You and your parents have to make that call!.

Good luck and have a speedy recovery!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay, listen and listen good!. This same thing happened to me but not by playing basketball!. Hold your wrist and move it back and forth really violently!. It will hurt but it also reduces pain!. Then sleep on your wrist this will also hurt but it will reduce more pain!. Eventually rub ice on it and it will all be good!. GOOD LUCK=]Www@Answer-Health@Com

Awww I like your name, in the video you looked in pain!. I realised it was your right wrist so you can't write if it's broke, well done! I would go A&E I've broke my right wrist too and it didn't hurt at all, they said yes and i done almost the same thing as you!. I've got to go back in 2 weeks now for more x-rays and I think it is not healing right because it hurts way to much!. If you have any questions my msn is thelionandthelamb!.108@hotmail!.com feel free to add me and ask any questions!. Let me know how it goes too please!. Good Luck!.

it looks like it really pains you to move it!. you probably sprained/fractured it!. i would go to the doctor if the pain doesn't subside within the next day or so!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
