Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Sprain or fracture at the wrist occurs most commonly when a person falls on an outstretched hand. Have you had any fall recently? However look for swelling and redness around the wrist. If swelling is increasing with pain, you should definitely suspect a fracture. I suggest you take Tab Voveran thrice daily and get an orthopedic opinion as soon as possible. Rest the wrist in a sling if possible.

Thanks.
