Hello,
Thanks for writing.
I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.
The way everything happened and as you told me you can make movements on you wrist it just tells me that there is no problem evidently with your wrist as such.
If there is severe pain..swelling... restriction in movements or a bruise then you better get this thing checked up by your doctor.
Now there are a few things which will help.
1) Give your wrist good rest.
2) Warm sponging.
3) wear wrist support.
4) Protect it from XXXXXXX further trauma.
5) Rub brufen or diclofenac gel over it.
Things will be fine in 4..5 days.
