You need to have your wrist X-rayed because it sounds like there is a strong chance that it could be broken. Keep ice on it for that will help reduce the swelling and take Motrin or some other anti-inflamatory pain reliever. It is best to be safe than sorry. Good Luck!

Usually the swelling means its broken. You need to go to the hospital. If you wait and it is broken the doctor could have to re break it in order to properly set the bones. Trust me, not fun.
