Is it swollen? bruised? Breaks almost always swell right away. Often there is almost immediate bruising. Sprains swell too but usually not quite as fast. Usually no bruising with sprains. You can go to the doctor for xray. That is the best way to know for sure.
You can also wrap it in an ace bandage or better yet one of those wrist immobilizers you can purchase at the pharmacy. They work well to immobilize to give a sprain or soft tissue injury time to heal. If it's still sore in another couple of days, see the doctor anyway.

Go to the doc.
A sprain can turn into a break.
a break gets worse for every inch you move it.

it is sprained, you wouldn't be able to move it without sickining, excruciating paing if it was broken. Ice, and tylenol will help. Go to the doctor and get some hydrocodone.

If you broke it, you would barely be able to move it. It would probably swell up, and your hand would just be hanging there like it was limp. You would also be in a lot of pain.

either a sprain or a break. go to the doctor. they will tell you and give you a cast or wrap. it will only get worse if you dont take care of it.
