Answers:
Aleve is a medicine like Advil, Tylenol ect.
You could have sprained it, broken it, cracked it. Lots of things. I would sugest waiting it out, ice it or use a heating pad, take some kind of pain med (Aleve works best for me), try to get some rest, and if it still hurts tomorrow or is unbearable tonight go to the doctor.

If you can move it, it probably means that you have fractured it. Your symptoms sound very similar to mine, ive fractured both of my wrists in the past year. If possible, keep your arm in a sling and get to hospital as soon as you can. Try not to move it, and make sure it can not be knocked.
Hope your problem is resolved and you have a speedy recovery.Health Question & Answer

Wrap some ice in a tea towel and apply for a while to reduce the swelling, try not to move the wrist if it's still sore in the morning. See a doctor in 24/48 hrs. Health Question & Answer
Is it swelling.? Can you move it.? If you can move it, it is perhaps not broken. Take some Aleve and ice it. I would wait it out until tomorrow. If it is worse, I would get it checked out.Health Question & Answer
if you completely landed on your wrist it might be broken but it sounds like you just might have twisted it and broke some blood vessels if it gets worse get it checked by the doctors! good luck!Health Question & Answer
