Sir, First do x-ray of wrist and get diagnosed. I hope there is no fracture.
Is there any swelling ? Warm ? Red ? If yes then first apply COLD PACK, 3 to 4 times daily.
If the area is not swell red or warm then can apply HOT PACK. Immobilize your wrist untill pain subside. When pain minimum then start exercise*.
Next Steps
Go to physiotherapist for UST/WAX BATH.
