Wrist brusied? or broken?

I went snowboarding yesterday and i was about to hit this jump, when some guy...decided he was going to try to go and hit it before me. I didn't even see him coming behind me. he stopped right as i was turning and slammed into my board sending me side ways off the jump. this jump is not that big, it is a 3 feet jump with a tree stump in the middle. Anyways....i went off it sideways about 5 feet in the air and came crashing down headfirst into the ice, with my wrist straight out in front of me.
I didn't hear any crack or snap, but i immediately grabbed my wrist and i felt like throwing up. It is swollen a little bit, but when I slowly and carefully move my wrist back the muscle in my arm tightens and my little finger (pinky) twitches . I'm also not sure if its even my wrist, its a very close call. My mom doesn't want to take me to the E.R because if its a bruise it will be a wast of time. But I don't want to just mess it up even more.
If somebody could please help me!!
Thanks!

dude go get it xrayed

It's best to get your wrist xrayed to make sure. You can get silent little fractures of the wrist bones which can bleed and eventually die leading to permanant damage.

Basically, if the wrist doesnt feel that painful, if you can move it most ways without much pain (just a bit of stiffness) it's most likely fine- also if you have normal sensation in your hand.

If you cant move your wrist, if you're in agony with it, if you've got loss of sensation or you have any doubt, get it xrayed.

go to the ER ....

You need an x ray to find out what is going on. Sorry but to me I think that it sounds like a break! Good luck!

It would be a good thing to go. Just tell your mom that you really think you should go if it feels like it could be broken. Also, if it's sprained, you could end up really messing up your wrist. Don't wait
