Suggest Treatment For Severe Wrist Pain

I have been having wrist pain for about a week now. The pain has gotten worse over this time. It hurts mostly on the thumb side of my wrist on the palm side. When I bend my wrist forward or backward it hurts dramatically more. I also am unable to put any pressure on it, such as pushing up from the floor to stand up. It also feels very weak and is now beginning to hurt up into my forearm. Could this be a fracture? There hasn t been any noticeable swelling.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Is there any history of injury? If so it can be a fracture . If no h/o injury then it can be a tendinitis or some kind of wrist synovotis( swelling may not be visible externally).
