Answers:
Cover it so you are constantly reminded that it is "hurt".. Use any sort of bandage or glove that helps keep you from swinging it into a wall.. You can even use a Skater's Wrist Guard.. It heals from the inside so more ice or heat won't make any difference.. Doesn't have to be immobilized..Health Question & Answer
the exact thing happened to me once when I fell on my hand..
don't worry.. just jeep ice on it and you probably will feel it for the next few days, but the pain should gradually go away until you're ok again.. don't move it that much because that might slow down the healing process..Health Question & Answer

The best treatment for sprains is to apply Ice for about 20 mins at a time to decrease pain and further swelling and elevate your hand so that the inflammation would subside.. Lastly, you need to stabilize it with a bandage..Health Question & Answer
you should probably immobilize it and just try to move it every hour and keep ice on it, if it doesn't get better in a few days you should go see a doctor..Health Question & Answer
