if you can move it 90% chance its not totally broken. Probably a sprain. Put ice on it and after the game it it still hurts you may want to get it checked out. ---

if it’s a sprain or internally bruise it may be sore for a couple weeks. Watch for swelling, warmth, and redness at the site of injury. If this occurs go get an x-ray. Yes, keep it elevated and ice on it to help prevent swelling and pain. Goodluck ---

Just go to a hospital and get an xray. I’ve learned the hard way that trying to tough out injuries just makes them linger forever… and in the end can lead to permanent damage. -TJ ---

Broken wrists usually swell very quickly because when you move your fingers you are still moving the wrist. put ice on it and be prepared for a very sore day tomorrow but after the swelling goes down it will be fine ---

when i broke my wrist i could still move it, but i had alot of stabbing pain. throbing, and sore as hell, i would say go to the hospital just to get it checked out. its really hard to tell if your wrist is broke or not ---

when i broke my arms, i could definately tell the one was broken, but I had no idea the other one was. and the one that hurt less was actually broken worse. so… Do you have insurance? I’d go to your doctor and have him take x-rays. It will probably be cheaper than going to the ER. At least down here, just walking in the door is 250 to the hospital and 250 to the doctor that treats you. ---

Just go get an X-ray and hope you don’t wind up like **I** did 😃 ![http://img32.exs.cx/img32/3609/fixator2410031cy.jpg](http://img32.exs.cx/img32/3609/fixator2410031cy.jpg) Got that one when a mini-van driving old fart cut me off on my '99 SV650. Had 14 cracks in the radius bone, and pretty much crushed alot of junk in there. Wow…can’t believe that was almost 2 years ago now… Replaced the 650 with an SV1000 btw 😃 ---
