You're right - prob. just a sprain. I broke both my wrists at the same time, and the bruised instantly. also, I wasn't able to move my wrist at all. You could try ice and an ace wrap, or anything wrapped tightly around it to immobilize it. And don't punch anyone for several weeks :) - bones take at least 6 weeks to heal. Hope it gets better soon.Health Question & Answer
Go and get a stiff wrist brace that you can velcro on. That will give you the support your wrist will need if it is sprained and will keep it in line if it is broken and hopefully it will give you enough support so you can still do your job. If that is not enough support you should go to the doctor. If it is sprained or broken it will take 3-6 weeks to heal.Health Question & Answer
Ice and a painkiller will help but it sounds like you need an x ray.Health Question & Answer
