hi. im 13 and today i was playing outside with my friends and when they left i went on my trampolean (its so tiny and only about a foot off the ground..it only fits one person..its one of those excersise ones) anyway.. i fell onto the grass on my left wrist. it got up and thought i was fine but now it kinda hurts. when i move my hand up and down it hurts and my wrist makes kinda like a clicking sound. it hurts to move a little. and my shoulder (left) hurts too. my wrist is not swolen at all. it just hurts to move up and down. IS IT broken or sprained or something? i didnt really fall so hard.

Sounds like a sprain. Broken bones produce a sharp pain on movement, and usually there's swelling.
If it isn't substantially better in 4-5 days, see the doctor, but I suspect it'll improve without any help.

It is probably sprained. Usually you will have bruising, swelling, and a very extreme sharp pain (usually almost immediate after the fall). I would try ice, and ibuprofen, and maybe wrap it in an ace bandage, and if you feel that you need to see a doctor then ask one of your parents to take you to the doctor, but I really do think that it's more sprained vs. broken.

Your wrist is sprained it will go away in about 4 to 7 days.

It doesn't sound broken. Its probably sprained. If it was broken, you would not be able to move it. Tr y to wrap it and put alternating heat and cold on it.

go see a dr
maybe a small bone is broken which happens if you fall on an outstreched hand ( this bone is called schaphoid bone), or maybe it's just a sprain
the only way you will find out is if you see a dr
and if you really want to give ten points for who can definitely tell you it has to be a physician who does everything correctly because as you will learn someday that the internet isn't a place to diagnose broken bones or anything else.

if it was broken you probably wouldnt be able to move it up and down. I'll bet it's probably just sprained or fractured.

use ice packs on it as it will bring the bruising out quicker and lessen the pain
