The pain from a fractured wrist is pretty severe and from my experience the pain from the fractured wrist persists for at least a day.

However the pain lessens after you have the fractured wrist repaired.

There's really intense pain right when you fracture the wrist and then as you move around the pain from the fractured wrist gets worse and worse and intensifies.

If you have a fractured wrist you need to go to the emergency room or walk in clinic to have the fractured wrist repaired.

When you do fracture your wrist there will also usually be swelling along with the pain from the wrist and you may still be able to move your fingers and hand or wrist even with the wrist fractured.

Always go to urgent care, walk in clinic or the emergency room if you fracture a wrist or any bone in your body.
