Did I break my wrist?

I was skateboarding in my neighborhood a day ago and I was doing some tricks and stuff. (I’m not that good by the way) Anyways, I landed it, but when I landed it, the board shot out from under my feet and I tried catching myself with my hand. It’s not swollen and is a little bruised on one side. (It also hurts to put pressure on my hand like when you push against something)
Any advice?

wrap a bandage around it, that keeps it paralel to the top of your pants, that is applying pressure on it but not too much pressure, dont move it or use it for a few days and take it easy if it doesnt get better- go to a & e

if its not swollen, its not broken.
if you can move it and rotate your wrist without screaming in agony, its not broken.
its bound to be a little sore and bruised, but that will probably fade in a few days. if not, or if it gets worse then its time for an xray.

its not broken, maybe sprained. I did the same thing on roller blades, but i broke my wrist in 3 places./ Its extremly painful and if u did barke it u would have screamed for the first hour or two, u wouldnt be able to sleep, and u want to keep it horizontal.
