While a doctor is needed to determine if you have broken your wrist, you can learn how to tell if you broke your wrist by certain symptoms you may experience. However even with a symptom check list, if you suspect you broke your wrist seek medical treatment immediately.

Obvious signs of a broken wrist are deformities or odd appearances to the area. Also, if a bone is protruding through the skin, chances are you have broken your wrist. Other symptoms to help you tell if you broke your wrist include severe pain, swelling, and tenderness. Bruising and stiffness are also likely to occur. Often, numbness and cold sensations can be experienced with a broken wrist however some of these symptoms can also occur with a sprained wrist so if you suspect a problem get it checked out.

It's all about how much pain you're having. If you can't move it, its broken. Try putting your two arms next to each other and see if you see any major differences. You can also do this with your legs, ankles, etc. A sprain is when you can move it pretty easily, but it hurts a little. It's possible it could just be badly bruised. You need to see a Doctor and get an X-Ray to know for sure.
