You may have fractured or sprained your hand. Please see a doctor or go to the hospital. They may put a splint (a temporary cast) on your hand. Try not to move your hand.

At the best case, you may have some bruising in/around your wrist or on the muscles. At the worst case, you could have cartilage damage or you could have fractures on the small bones in the wrist. To fully determine the extent of your injury you should seek medical attention.

You jammed it and have a slight sprain in it which means the tendons tightened up on you and are making the muscle shorter than it should be and icing it will try to shorten it some more and end up being more painful in the end. You can release your sprained muscle in your wrist and the pain and swelling should go as soon as you are done with that. Here is how to release it:
Wrist:
With hand resting in front of you and your wrist bent half way closed, press down hard slightly behind the wrist and hold that pressure. After 30 seconds slowly open your wrist up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your wrist open for another 30 seconds.Posted 1 year ago # -
Could be a sprain or a hair line fracture. Soak in warm water with Epsom's mineral salts. It may take 4-5 days to get back to normal. Take it easy on that hand a few days. If it takes longer consult a doctor about it.

You are going to have to give it time to heal. Be patient. The body is good to heal if we give it a chance.
